Property Description Supported Operating 
System(s)
Alert Indications with identical, non NULL values of 
SystemCreateClassName, SystemName, and 
ProviderName.
IndicationIdentifier
An identifier for the Indication. This property is similar 
to a key value in that it can be used for identification, 
when correlating Indications (see the 
CorrelatedIndications array). Its value SHOULD be 
unique as long as correlations are reported, but MAY 
be reused or left NULL if no future Indications will 
reference it in their CorrelatedIndications array. To 
ensure uniqueness, the value of IndicationIdentifier 
should be constructed using the following 
preferred 
algorithm:
<OrgID>:<LocalID>
Where <OrgID> and <LocalID>are separated by a 
colon (:), and where <OrgID> must include a 
copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name 
that is owned by the business entity that is creating or 
defining the IndicationIdentifier or that is a recognized 
ID that is assigned to the business entity by a 
recognized global authority. (This requirement is similar 
to the <Schema Name>_<Class Name> structure of 
Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure 
uniqueness must not contain a colon (:). When using 
this algorithm, the first colon to appear in 
IndicationIdentifier must appear between <OrgID>and 
<LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and should 
not be re-used to identify different underlying (real-
world) elements. If the above 
preferred algorithm is 
not used, the defining entity should assure that the 
resulting IndicationIdentifier is not reused across any 
IndicationIdentifiers that are produced by this or other 
providers for the NameSpace of this instance.
Microsoft Windows
IndicationTime
The time and date of creation of the Indication. The 
property may be set to NULL if the entity creating the 
Indication is not capable of determining this 
information.
NOTE: IndicationTime may be the same for 
two Indications that are generated in rapid 
succession.
Microsoft Windows
Message
The formatted message. This message is constructed 
by combining some or all of the dynamic elements 
specified in the MessageArguments property with the 
static elements uniquely identified by the MessageID in 
a message registry or other catalog associated with 
the OwningEntity.
Microsoft Windows
MessageArguments
An array containing the dynamic content of the 
message.
Microsoft Windows, 
Linux
MessageID
A string that uniquely identifies, within the scope of 
the OwningEntity, the format of the Message.
Microsoft Windows
OtherAlertingElementFormat
A string defining Other values for 
AlertingElementFormat. This value MUST be set to a 
non NULL value when AlertingElementFormat is set to 
Microsoft Windows,
