CIM_Indication class
CIM_Indication is the abstract base class for all notifications about changes in schema objects, and schema object data, events detected by providers and instrumentation. Subclasses of CIM_Indication represent specific types of notifications.
To receive an indication, a subscriber must create the following instances for the notification:
- CIM_IndicationFilter
- CIM_ListenerDestination
- CIM_IndicationSubscription
The following syntax is simplified from MOF code and includes all inherited properties.

Members
The CIM_Indication class has these types of members:
Properties
The CIM_Indication class has these properties.
-
CorrelatedIndications
-
-
Data type: string array
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("Recommendation.ITU|X733.Correlated notifications"), ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_Indication.IndicationIdentifier")
A array that contains IndicationIdentifier values of notifications that are related this one.
-
-
IndicationFilterName
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_IndicationFilter.Name")
The identifier of the indication filter that processes the indication. The sending service sets this property. This property correlates with the Name property of the CIM_IndicationFilter object. The value of IndicationFilterName should use the following format:
- <OrgID>:<LocalID>
- <OrgID> must include a copyrighted, trademarked, or unique name that is owned by the business entity that owns the object.
- <OrgID> must not contain a colon (:)
- <LocalID> a unique identifier chosen by the business entity that owns the object.
-
-
IndicationIdentifier
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("Recommendation.ITU|X733.Notification identifier")
An identifier of the indication. This property can be used as a key value in the CorrelatedIndications property array. Therefore, IndicationIdentifier should be a unique value within the namespace of this class instance.
To ensure that IndicationIdentifier is unique, it should use the following format:
- <OrgID>:<LocalID>
- <OrgID> must include a copyrighted, trademarked, or unique name that is owned by the business entity that owns the object.
- <OrgID> must not contain a colon (:)
- <LocalID> a unique identifier chosen by the business entity that owns the object.
- For DMTF-defined instances, <OrgID> should be set to "CIM".
-
-
IndicationTime
-
-
Data type: datetime
-
Access type: Read-only
The time and date when the indication was created. The property can be set to NULL if the entity that created the indication is not capable of determining this information.
Note
The IndicationTime value can be the same for indications that are generated in rapid succession.
-
-
OtherSeverity
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_AlertIndication.PerceivedSeverity")
The severity of the indication from the notifier's point of view when PerceivedSeverity is set to "1" (Other).
-
-
PerceivedSeverity
-
-
Data type: uint16
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("Recommendation.ITU|X733.Perceived severity")
The severity of the indication from the notifier's point of view.
-
-
Unknown (0)
-
The severity is unknown.
-
Other (1)
-
The OtherSeverity property indicates the severity.
-
Information (2)
-
The indication is only informational.
-
Degraded/Warning (3)
-
The user should decide if action is needed.
-
Minor (4)
-
Action is needed, but the situation is not serious at this time.
-
Major (5)
-
Immediate action is needed.
-
Critical (6)
-
Immediate action is needed, otherwise a critical resource may shut down.
-
Fatal/NonRecoverable (7)
-
An error occurred, but it's too late to take remedial action.
-
DMTF Reserved
-
Reserved
SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR
-
Data type: uint8 array
-
Access type: Read-only
Descriptor used by the event provider to determine which users can receive the event. This property is inherited from __Event. For more information about constants used to set this security descriptor, see WMI Security Constants.
SequenceContext
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_Indication.SequenceNumber")
The sequence context of the sequence identifier for the indication. If a service does not support sequence identifiers for indications, this property should be set to NULL. If the indication is redelivered, this property remains the same.
Note
The sequence identifier for the indication enables a listener to identify duplicate indications when the service attempts to redeliver indications, reorder indications that arrive out of order, and detect lost indications.
To ensure that SequenceContext is unique, it should use the following format:
- indication-service-name#cim-service-start-id #listener-destination-creation-time
- indication-service-name is the value of the Name property of the CIM_IndicationService instance that delivers the indication.
- cim-service-start-id is an identifier that uniquely identifies the start operation of a service. For example, this could be a timestamp of the start time, or a counter that increases for each start or restart of the service.
- listener-destination-creation-time is a timestamp of the creation time of the CIM_ListenerDestination instance representing the listener destination.nSince this format is only a recommendation, CIM clients shall treat the value as an opaque identifier for the sequence context and shall not rely on this format.
SequenceNumber
-
Data type: sint64
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_Indication.SequenceContext")
The sequence number of the sequence identifier for the indication.
Note
The sequence identifier for the indication enables a listener to identify duplicate indications when the service attempts to redeliver indications, reorder indications that arrive out of order, and detect lost indications.
The sequence number has the following characteristics:
- The sequence number is reset to "0" whenever the SequenceContext value changes.
- Whenever the listener destination receives a new indication, the sequence number is increased by "1".
- The sequence number wraps to "0" when the value range is exceeded.
- If the indication is redelivered, the SequenceNumber remains the same.
TIME_CREATED
-
Data type: uint64
-
Access type: Read-only
Unique value that indicates the time at which the event was generated. This is a 64-bit value that represents the number of 100-nanosecond intervals after January 1, 1601. The information is in the Coordinated Universal Times (UTC) format. This property is inherited from __Event.
For more information about using uint64 values in scripts, see Scripting in WMI.
