RecordLog serves as an aggregation point for LogRecord objects. This class presents a higher level view of a log than its peer class MessageLog (which uses iterators) and introduces a new key structure. Access to records in this log is achieved through the use of the standard CIM Operations defined as part of WBEM.

{'Description':'A timeout period that specifies the maximum amount of time that the client expects the transition to the new state to take. The interval format MUST be used to specify the TimeoutPeriod. A value of 0 or a null parameter indicates that the client has no time requirements for the transition. If this property does not contain 0 or null and the implementation doesn't support this parameter. A return code of 'Use Of Timeout Parameter Not Supported' MUST be returned.'}
Description
'Requests that the element's state be changed to the value specified in the RequestedState parameter. When the requested state change takes place, the element's EnabledState and RequestedState will be the same. Invoking the RequestStateChange method multiple times could result in earlier requests being overwritten/lost. If 0 is returned, then the task completed successfully and the use of ConcreteJob was not required. If 4096 (0x1000) is returned, then the task will take some time to complete, ConcreteJob will be created, and its reference returned in the output parameter Job. Any other return code indicates an error condition.'
Values
['Completed with No Error', 'Not Supported', 'Unknown/Unspecified Error', 'Can NOT complete within Timeout Period', 'Failed', 'Invalid Parameter', 'In Use', 'DMTF Reserved', 'Method Parameters Checked - Job Started', 'Invalid State Transition', 'Use of Timeout Parameter Not Supported', 'Busy', 'Method Reserved', 'Vendor Specific']
'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: : Where and are separated by a colon ':', and where 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 _ structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness MUST NOT contain a colon (':'). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID MUST appear between and . 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 set to 'CIM'.'
'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 ManagedSystemElement's Name property 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 MAY be present in both the Name and ElementName properties.'
'An enumerated value indicating an administrator's default/startup configuration for an element's Enabled State. By default, the element is "Enabled" (value=2).'
'EnabledState is an integer enumeration that indicates the enabled/disabled states of an element. It can also indicate the transitions between these requested states. For example, shutting down (value = 4) and starting (value=10) are transient states between enabled and disabled. The following text briefly summarizes the various enabled/disabled states: Enabled (2) indicates that the element is/could be executing commands, will process any queued commands, and queues new requests. Disabled (3) indicates that the element will not execute commands and will drop any new requests. Shutting Down (4) indicates that the element is in the process of going to a Disabled state. Not Applicable (5) indicates the element doesn't support being enabled/disabled. Enabled but Offline (6) indicates that the element may be completing commands, and will drop any new requests. Test (7) indicates that the element is in a test state. Deferred (8) indicates that the element may be completing commands, but will queue any new requests. Quiesce (9) indicates that the element is enabled but in a restricted mode. The element's behavior is similar to the Enabled state, but it only processes a restricted set of commands. All other requests are queued. Starting (10) indicates that the element is in the process of going to an Enabled state. New requests are queued.'
'Indicates the current health of the element. This attribute expresses the health of this element but not necessarily that of its subcomponents. The possible values are 0 to 30, where 5 means the element is entirely healthy and 30 means the element is completely non-functional. The following continuum is defined: "Non-recoverable Error" (30) - The element has completed failed and recovery is not possible. All functionality provided by this element has been lost. "Critical Failure" (25) - The element is non-functional and recovery MAY NOT be possible. "Major Failure" (20) - The element is failing. It is possible the some or all of the functionality of this component is degraded or not working. "Minor Failure" (15) - All functionality is available but some MAY be degraded. "Degraded/Warning" (10) - The element is in working order and all functionality is provided. However, the element is not working to the best of its abilities. For example, the element may not be operating at optimal performance or it may be reporting recoverable errors. "OK" (5) - The element is fully functional and is operating within normal operational parameters and without error. "Unknown" (0) - The implementation can not report on HealthState at this time. DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in the future.'
'Indicates the current status(es) of the element. Various operational statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration's values are self- explanatory. However, a few are not and are described in more detail. "Stressed" indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of "Stressed" states are overload, overheated, etc. "Predictive Failure" indicates that an element is functioning nominally but predicting a failure in the near future. "In Service" describes an element being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered. "No Contact" indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish communications with it. "Lost Communication" indicates that the ManagedSystem Element is known to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently unreachable. "Stopped" and "Aborted" are similar, although the former implies a clean and orderly stop, while the latter implies an abrupt stop where the element's state and configuration may need to be updated. "Dormant" indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced. "Supporting Entity in Error" describes that this element may be "OK" but that another element, on which it is dependent, is in error. An example is a network service or endpoint that cannot function due to lower layer networking problems. "Completed" indicates the element has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can till if the complete operation passed (Completed with OK), and failure (Completed with Error). Completed with Degraded would imply the operation finished, but did not complete OK or report an error. "Power Mode" indicates the element has additional power model information contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association. OperationalStatus replaces the Status property on ManagedSystemElement to provide a consistent approach to enumerations, to address implementation needs for an array property, and to provide a migration path from today's environment to the future. This change was not made earlier since it required the DEPRECATED qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, it is strongly RECOMMENDED that providers/instrumentation provide BOTH the Status and OperationalStatus properties. Further, the first value of OperationalStatus SHOULD contain the primary status for the element. When instrumented, Status (since it is single-valued) SHOULD also provide the primary status of the element.'
'A string describing the element's enabled/disabled state when the EnabledState property is set to 1 ("Other"). This property MUST be set to NULL when EnabledState is any value other than 1.'
'RequestedState is an integer enumeration indicating the last requested or desired state for the element. The actual state of the element is represented by EnabledState. This property is provided to compare the last requested and current enabled/disabled states. Note that when EnabledState is set to 5 ("Not Applicable"), then this property has no meaning. By default, the element's RequestedState is 5 ("No Change"). Refer to the EnabledState's property Description for explanations of the values in the RequestedState enumeration.
It should be noted that there are two new values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of EnabledState. These are "Reboot" (10) and "Reset" (11). The former, Reboot, refers to doing a "Shut Down" and then moving to an "Enabled" state. The latter, Reset, indicates that the element is first "Disabled" and then "Enabled". The distinction between requesting "Shut Down" and "Disabled" should also be noted. The former, Shut Down, requests an orderly transition to the Disabled state, and MAY involve removing power, to completely erase any existing state. The latter, the Disabled state, requests an immediate disabling of the element, such that it will not execute or accept any commands or processing requests.
This property is set as the result of a method invocation (such as Start or StopService on CIM_Service), or may be overridden and defined as WRITEable in a subclass. The method approach is considered superior to a WRITEable property, since it allows an explicit invocation of the operation and the return of a result code.
It is possible that a particular instance of EnabledLogicalElement may not support RequestedStateChange. If this occurs, the value 12 ("Not Applicable") is used.'
'A string indicating the current status of the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses are defined. This property is deprecated in lieu of OperationalStatus, which includes the same semantics in its enumeration. This change is made for 3 reasons: 1) Status is more correctly defined as an array. This overcomes the limitation of describing status via a single value, when it is really a multi-valued property (for example, an element may be OK AND Stopped. 2) A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values. And, 3) The change to a uint16 data type was discussed when CIM V2.0 was defined. However, existing V1.0 implementations used the string property and did not want to modify their code. Therefore, Status was grandfathered into the Schema. Use of the Deprecated qualifier allows the maintenance of the existing property, but also permits an improved definition using OperationalStatus.'
'Strings describing the various OperationalStatus array values. For example, if "Stopping" is the value assigned to OperationalStatus, then this property may contain an explanation as to why an object is being stopped. Note that entries in this array are correlated with those at the same array index in OperationalStatus.'
'The date/time when the element's EnabledState last changed. If the state of the element has not changed and this property is populated, then it MUST be set to a 0 interval value. If a state change was requested, but rejected or not yet processed, the property MUST NOT be updated.'
