| Name | Data Type | Qualifiers |
| Name | Data Type | Value | Scope | Flavors |
| Caption | string |
| Description | string | The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| MaxLen | uint32 | 64 | None | None |
| CreationClassName | string |
| Description | string | CreationClassName indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used with the other key properties of this class, this property allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| Key | boolean | true | None | OVERRIDABLE= false
|
| MaxLen | uint32 | 256 | None | None |
| DataFormat | string |
| Deprecated | string | CIM_LogRecord.RecordFormat | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
| Description | string | A free-form string describing the LogRecord's data structure. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| Description | string |
| Description | string | The Description property provides a textual description of the object. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| ElementName | string |
| Description | string | A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a user-friendly name in addition to its key properties, identity data, and description information.
Note that the Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the Name and ElementName properties. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| 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 | InstanceID is an optional property that may be used to opaquely and uniquely identify an instance of this class within the scope of the instantiating Namespace. Various subclasses of this class may override this property to make it required, or a key. Such subclasses may also modify the preferred algorithms for ensuring uniqueness that are defined below.
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 not null and 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.
If not set to null for DMTF-defined instances, the "preferred" algorithm must be used with the <OrgID> set to CIM. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| Locale | string |
| Deprecated | string | No Value | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
| Description | string | This property is being deprecated to avoid conflicts with localization implementations using CIM/XML over HTTP protocol, the preferred mechanism.
A locale indicates a particular geographical, political, or cultural region. The Locale specifies the language used in creating the RecordForLog data. If the Locale property is empty, it is assumed that the default locale is en_US (English).
The locale string consists of three sub-strings, separated by underscores:
- The first sub-string is the language code, as specified in ISO639.
- The second sub-string is the country code, as specified in ISO3166.
- The third sub-string is a variant, which is vendor specific.
For example, US English appears as: "en_US_WIN", where the "WIN" variant would specify a Windows browser-specific collation (if one exists). Since the variant is not standardized, it is not commonly used and generally is limited to easily recognizable values ("WIN", "UNIX", "EURO", etc.) used in standard environments. The language and country codes are required; the variant may be empty. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| LogCreationClassName | string |
| Description | string | The scoping Log's CreationClassName. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| Key | boolean | true | None | OVERRIDABLE= false
|
| MaxLen | uint32 | 256 | None | None |
| Propagated | string | CIM_MessageLog.CreationClassName | None | OVERRIDABLE= false
|
| LogName | string |
| Description | string | The scoping Log's Name. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| Key | boolean | true | None | OVERRIDABLE= false
|
| MaxLen | uint32 | 256 | None | None |
| Propagated | string | CIM_MessageLog.Name | None | OVERRIDABLE= false
|
| MessageTimestamp | datetime |
| Description | string | A LogRecord's key structure includes a timestamp for the entry. If the timestamp for the entry is unknown, the value 99990101000000.000000+000 SHOULD be used. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| Key | boolean | true | None | OVERRIDABLE= false
|
| 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 |
| Experimental | boolean | true | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
| 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 |
| RecordData | string |
| Description | string | A string containing LogRecord data.
If the corresponding RecordFormat property is <empty>, or cannot be parsed according to the recommended format, RecordData should be interpreted as a free-form string. If the RecordFormat property contains parseable format information (as recommended in the RecordFormat Description qualifier), the RecordData string SHOULD be parsed in accordance with this format. In this case, RecordData SHOULD begin with the delimiter character and this character SHOULD be used to separate substrings in the manner described. The RecordData string can then be parsed by the data consumer and appropriately typed. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_RecordForLog.RecordFormat | None | None |
| RecordFormat | string |
| Description | string | A string describing the data structure of the information in the property, RecordData. If the RecordFormat string is <empty>, RecordData should be interpreted as a free-form string.
To describe the data structure of RecordData, the RecordFormat string should be constructed as follows:
- The first character is a delimiter character and is used to parse the remainder of the string into sub-strings.
- Each sub-string is separated by the delimiter character and should be in the form of a CIM property declaration (i.e., datatype and property name). This set of declarations may be used to interpret the similarly delimited RecordData property.
For example, using a '*' delimiter, RecordFormat = "*string ThisDay*uint32 ThisYear*datetime SomeTime"
may be used to interpret: RecordData = "*This is Friday*2002*20020807141000.000000-300". | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_RecordForLog.RecordData | None | None |
| RecordID | string |
| Description | string | RecordID, with the MessageTimestamp property, serve to uniquely identify the LogRecord within a MessageLog. Note that this property is different than the RecordNumber parameters of the MessageLog methods. The latter are ordinal values only, useful to track position when iterating through a Log. On the other hand, RecordID is truly an identifier for an instance of LogRecord. It may be set to the record's ordinal position, but this is not required. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| Key | boolean | true | None | OVERRIDABLE= false
|
| MaxLen | uint32 | 256 | None | None |
