Property Description Supported Operating
System(s)
• 0 = Unknown — The format is unknown or not
meaningfully interpretable by a CIM client
application.
• 1 = Other — The format is defined by the value of
the OtherAlertingElementFormat property.
• 2 = CIMObjectPath — The format is a
CIMObjectPath, with format
NamespacePath:ClassName.Prop1 =
Value1,
Prop2=Value2, . . . specifying an instance in the
CIM Schema.
AlertingManagedElement
The identifying information of the entity (that is, the
instance) for which this Indication is generated. The
property contains the path of an instance, encoded as
a string parameter — if the instance is modeled in the
CIM Schema. If it is not a CIM instance, the property
contains some identifying string that names the entity
for which the Alert is generated. The path or
identifying string is formatted per the
AlertingElementFormat property.

AlertType
Primary classification of the Indication.
Possible values are:
• 1 = Other — The Indication's OtherAlertType
property conveys its classification. Use of Other in
an enumeration is a standard CIM convention. It
means that the current Indication does not fit into
the categories described by this enumeration.
• 2 = Communications Alert — An Indication of this
type is principally associated with the procedures
and/or processes required to convey information
from one point to another.
• 3 = Quality of Service Alert — An Indication of this
type is principally associated with a degradation or
errors in the performance or function of an entity.
• 4 = Processing Error — An Indication of this type
is principally associated with a software or
processing fault.
• 5 = Device Alert — An Indication of this type is
principally associated with an equipment or
hardware fault.
• 6 = Environmental Alert — An Indication of this
type is principally associated with a condition
relating to an enclosure in which the hardware
resides, or other environmental considerations.
• 7 = Model Change — The Indication addresses
changes in the Information Model. For example, it
may embed a Lifecycle Indication to convey the
specific model change being alerted.
• 8 = Security Alert — An Indication of this type is
associated with security violations, detection of
viruses, and similar issues.

EventID
An instrumentation or provider-specific value that
describes the underlying real-world event
represented by the Indication. Two Indications with the
same, non NULL EventID value are considered, by the
creating entity, to represent the same event. The
comparison of two EventID values is only defined for
