Reference Guide
Property Description
• 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.
ElementName 
The user-friendly name for this instance of SettingData. In addition, the user-friendly name 
can be used as an index property for a search or query.
NOTE: The name does not have to be unique within a namespace.
EventID 
The identification number for events of this type.
IndicationIdentifier 
An identifier for the Alert indication. This property is similar to a key value in that it can be 
used for identification, when correlating Alert indications (see the Correlated indications 
array). Its value should be unique as long as Alert correlations are reported, but may be 
reused or left NULL if no future Alert indications will reference it in their Correlated 
indications array.
InstanceID
Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely 
identifies an instance of this class. To ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value 
of InstanceID 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 InstanceID or that is a registered ID 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, <OrgID> must not contain a colon (:). When using this algorithm, the first colon 
to appear in InstanceID must appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID> . <LocalID> is chosen 
by the business entity and should not be reused to identify different underlying (real-world) 
elements. If the above 
preferred algorithm is not used, the defining entity must assure that 
the resulting InstanceID is not reused across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other 
providers for the NameSpace of this instance. For DMTF-defined instances, the 
preferred 
algorithm must be used with the <OrgID> set to CIM.LocalOnly.
LocalOnly
This property shows if the events from this the event source should be reported to the 
local indication consumer only or should be reported to CIMOM as an indication. TRUE for 
reporting to local consumer only, and FALSE for reporting as an indication.
MaxDisplayNotifications
The maximum number of indications of this type that will be sent to the local display.
MaxNTEventLogNotifications
The maximum number of indications of this type that will be sent to the local display.
Name
The label by which the Configuration object is known.
