| Name | Data Type | Qualifiers |
| Name | Data Type | Value | Scope | Flavors |
| CorrelatedIndications | string |
| Description | string | A list of IndicationIdentifiers whose notifications are correlated with (related to) this one. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| MappingStrings | string | Recommendation.ITU|X733.Correlated notifications | None | None |
| ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_Indication.IndicationIdentifier | None | None |
| Error | string |
| Description | string | Error's data is dependent on the PreCall property. When PreCall is TRUE, this property is NULL describing that there is no method Error instances (since the method has not yet executed). When PreCall is FALSE, Error contains an array of zero or more entries containing CIM_ERROR instances represented as an array of Embedded Instances. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| EmbeddedInstance | string | CIM_Error | None | None |
| Experimental | boolean | true | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
| ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_InstMethodCall.PreCall, CIM_InstMethodCall.ReturnValue | None | None |
| IndicationFilterName | string |
| Description | string | An identifier for the indication filter that selects this indication and causes it to be sent. This property is to be filled out by the indication sending service. The value shall be correlatable with the Name property of the instance of CIM_IndicationFilter describing the criteria of the indication. The value of the IndicationFilterName should be formatted using the following algorithm: < OrgID > : < LocalID >, where < OrgID > and < LocalID > are separated by a colon (:) and < OrgID > shall include a copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity that is creating or defining the value or that is a registered ID assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority. In addition, to ensure uniqueness, < OrgID > shall not contain a colon (:).When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in the value shall appear between < OrgID > and < LocalID >. < LocalID > is chosen by the business entity and shall be used uniquely. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| Experimental | boolean | true | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
| ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_IndicationFilter.Name | None | None |
| IndicationIdentifier | string |
| Description | string | 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 <OrgID> must not contain a colon (:). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in IndicationIdentifier must appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID>.
<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 re-used across any IndicationIdentifiers that are produced by this or other providers for the NameSpace of this instance.
For DMTF-defined instances, the "preferred" algorithm should be used with the <OrgID> set to CIM. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| MappingStrings | string | Recommendation.ITU|X733.Notification identifier | None | None |
| IndicationTime | datetime |
| Description | string | 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 that IndicationTime may be the same for two Indications that are generated in rapid succession. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| MethodName | string |
| Description | string | The name of the method invoked. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| Required | boolean | true | None | OVERRIDABLE= false
|
| MethodParameters | string |
| Description | string | The parameters of the method, formatted as an EmbeddedObject (with a predefined class name of "__MethodParameters". | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| EmbeddedObject | boolean | true | None | OVERRIDABLE= false
|
| OtherSeverity | string |
| Description | string | Holds the value of the user defined severity value when 'PerceivedSeverity' is 1 ("Other"). | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_AlertIndication.PerceivedSeverity | None | None |
| PerceivedSeverity | uint16 |
| Description | string | An enumerated value that describes the severity of the Indication from the notifier's point of view:
1 - Other, by CIM convention, is used to indicate that the Severity's value can be found in the OtherSeverity property.
3 - Degraded/Warning should be used when its appropriate to let the user decide if action is needed.
4 - Minor should be used to indicate action is needed, but the situation is not serious at this time.
5 - Major should be used to indicate action is needed NOW.
6 - Critical should be used to indicate action is needed NOW and the scope is broad (perhaps an imminent outage to a critical resource will result).
7 - Fatal/NonRecoverable should be used to indicate an error occurred, but it's too late to take remedial action.
2 and 0 - Information and Unknown (respectively) follow common usage. Literally, the Indication is purely informational or its severity is simply unknown. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| MappingStrings | string | Recommendation.ITU|X733.Perceived severity | None | None |
| ValueMap | string | 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 | None | None |
| Values | string | Unknown, Other, Information, Degraded/Warning, Minor, Major, Critical, Fatal/NonRecoverable | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| PreCall | boolean |
| Description | string | Boolean indicating whether the Indication is sent before the method begins executing (TRUE) or when the method completes (FALSE). When TRUE, the inherited property SourceInstance contains the value of the instance (the properties defined by the Filter's Query clause), before execution of the method. When PreCall is FALSE, SourceInstance embeds the instance as it appears after the completion of the method. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| Required | boolean | true | None | OVERRIDABLE= false
|
| ReturnValue | string |
| Description | string | ReturnValue's data is dependent on the PreCall property. When PreCall is TRUE, this property is NULL describing that there is no method return value (since the method has not yet executed). When PreCall is FALSE, ReturnValue contains a string representation of the method's return value. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_InstMethodCall.PreCall, CIM_InstMethodCall.ReturnValueType, CIM_InstMethodCall.Error | None | None |
| ReturnValueType | uint16 |
| Description | string | The type of the method return value. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |

| SourceInstance | string |
| Description | string | A copy of the instance that changed to generate the Indication. SourceInstance contains the current values of the properties selected by the Indication Filter's Query. In the case of CIM_InstDeletion, the property values are copied before the instance is deleted. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| EmbeddedObject | boolean | true | None | OVERRIDABLE= false
|
| Required | boolean | true | None | OVERRIDABLE= false
|
| SourceInstanceHost | string |

| ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_InstIndication.SourceInstance | None | None |
| SourceInstanceModelPath | string |
| Description | string | The Model Path of the SourceInstance. The following format MUST be used to encode the Model Path:
<NamespacePath>:<ClassName>.<Prop1>="<Value1>",
<Prop2>="<Value2>", ... | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
