| Description | string | ControllableManagedElements identifies the instances of CIM_ManagedElement that can be controlled by the associated CIM_MetricService instance. Each value shall be formatted as a WBEM URI defined according to DSP0207 identifying an instance of CIM_ManagedElement If a value corresponding to an instance of CIM_ManagedElement is included in the ControllableManagedElements property, the associated instance of CIM_MetricService shall support enabling and/or disabling at least one metric defined for the CIM_ManagedElement instance. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |

| Description | string | ControllableMetrics identifies the instances of CIM_BaseMetricDefinition that can be controlled by the associated CIM_MetricService instance. Each string value shall be formatted as a WBEM URI defined as in accordance with DSP0207 that identifies an instance of CIM_BaseMetricDefinition. An instance of CIM_BaseMetricDefinition shall not be identified by a value of the ControllableMetrics property unless it is associated through CIM_ServiceAffectsElement to the associated instance of CIM_MetricService. If a value corresponding to an instance of CIM_BaseMetricDefinition is included in the ControllableMetrics property, the associated instance of CIM_MetricService shall support enabling and/or disabling at least one metric defined by the CIM_BaseMetricDefinition instance. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |

| ElementNameMask | string |
| Description | string | This string expresses the restrictions on ElementName.The mask is expressed as a regular expression.See DMTF standard ABNF with the Profile Users Guide, appendix C for the regular expression syntax permitted.
Since the ElementNameMask can describe the maximum lengthof the ElementName, then the requirements expressed in this property shall take precidence of any length expressed in MaxElementNameLen. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| Experimental | boolean | true | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
| Generation | uint64 |
| Description | string | Generation is an optional, monotonically increasing property that may be used to identify a particular generation of the resource represented by this class.
If Generation is supported by the implementation, its value shall not be null.
Except as otherwise specified, a value (including null) of Generation specified at creation time shall be replaced by null if Generation is not supported by the implementation or shall be a, (possibly different), non-null value if the implementation does support Generation.
After creation and if supported, Generation shall be updated, at least once per access, whenever the represented resource is modified, regardless of the source of the modification.
Note: the Generation value only needs to be updated once between references, even if the resource is updated many times. The key point is to assure that it will be different if there have been updates, not to count each update.
Note: unless otherwise specified, the value of Generation within one instance is not required to be coordinated with the value of Generation in any other instance.
Note:the semantics of the instance, (as defined by its creation class), define the underlying resource. That underlying resource may be a collection or aggregation of resources. And, in that case, the semantics of the instance further define when updates to constituent resources also require updates to the Generation of the collective resource. Default behavior of composite aggregations should be to update the Generation of the composite whenever the Generation of a component is updated.
Subclasses may define additional requirements for updates on some or all of related instances.
For a particular instance, the value of Generation may wrap through zero, but the elapsed time between wraps shall be greater than 10's of years.
This class does not require Generation to be unique across instances of other classes nor across instances of the same class that have different keys. Generation shall be different across power cycles, resets, or reboots if any of those actions results in an update. Generation may be different across power cycles, resets, or reboots if those actions do not result in an update. If the Generation property of an instance is non-null, and if any attempt to update the instance includes the Generation property, then if it doesn't match the current value, the update shall fail.
The usage of this property is intended to be further specified by applicable management profiles.
Typically, a client will read the value of this property and then supply that value as input to an operation that modifies the instance in some means. This may be via an explicit parameter in an extrinsic method or via an embedded value in an extrinsic method or intrinsic operation.
For example: a profile may require that an intrinsic instance modification supply the Generation property and that it must match for the modification to succeed. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| Experimental | boolean | true | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
| InstanceID | string |
| Description | string | Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. In order 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 creating/defining the InstanceID, or is a registered ID that is assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority (This 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 re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above 'preferred' algorithm is not used, the defining entity MUST assure that the resultant InstanceID is not re-used across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for this instance's NameSpace.
For DMTF defined instances, the 'preferred' algorithm MUST be used with the <OrgID> set to 'CIM'. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |

If StateAwareness contains the value 3 "RequestStateChange", the RequestedState and TransitioningToState properties of the associated instance of CIM_EnabledLogicalElement shall provide information about state transitions initiated by invocation of the RequestStateChange() method.
