A concrete superclass for CIM Alert notifications. An AlertIndication is a specialized type of CIM_Indication that contains information about the severity, cause, recommended actions and other data of a real world event. This event and its data may or may not be modeled in the CIM class hierarchy.

'The format of the AlertingManagedElement property is interpretable based upon the value of this property. Values are defined as: 0 - Unknown. The format is unknown or not meaningfully interpretable by a CIM client application. 1 - Other. The format is defined by the value of the OtherAlertingElementFormat property. 2 - CIMObjectPath. The format is a CIMObjectPath, with format :.="", ="", . . . specifying an instance in the CIM Schema.'
'The identifying information of the entity (ie, the instance) for which this Indication is generated. The property contains the path of an instance, encoded as a string parameter - if the instance is modeled in the CIM Schema. If not a CIM instance, the property contains some identifying string that names the entity for which the Alert is generated. The path or identifying string is formatted per the AlertingElementFormat property.'
'Primary classification of the Indication. The following values are defined: 1 - Other. The Indication's OtherAlertType property conveys its classification. Use of "Other" in an enumeration is a standard CIM convention. It means that the current Indication does not fit into the categories described by this enumeration. 2 - Communications Alert. An Indication of this type is principally associated with the procedures and/or processes required to convey information from one point to another. 3 - Quality of Service Alert. An Indication of this type is principally associated with a degradation or errors in the performance or function of an entity. 4 - Processing Error. An Indication of this type is principally associated with a software or processing fault. 5 - Device Alert. An Indication of this type is principally associated with an equipment or hardware fault. 6 - Environmental Alert. An Indication of this type is principally associated with a condition relating to an enclosure in which the hardware resides, or other environmental considerations. 7 - Model Change. The Indication addresses changes in the Information Model. For example, it may embed a Lifecycle Indication to convey the specific model change being alerted. 8 - Security Alert. An Indication of this type is associated with security violations, detection of viruses, and similar issues.'

'An instrumentation or provider specific value that describes the underlying "real-world" event represented by the Indication. Two Indications with the same, non NULL EventID value are considered, by the creating entity, to represent the same event. The comparison of two EventID values is only defined for Alert Indications with identical, non NULL values of SystemCreateClassName, SystemName and ProviderName.'
'The time and date the underlying event was first detected. If specified, this property MUST be set to NULL if the creating entity is not capable of providing this information. This value is based on the notion of local date and time of the Managed System Element generating the Indication.'
'The formatted message. This message is constructed by combining some or all of the dynamic elements specified in the MessageArguments property with the static elements uniquely identified by the MessageID in a message registry or other catalog associated with the OwningEntity.'
'A string defining "Other" values for AlertingElementFormat. This value MUST be set to a non NULL value when AlertingElementFormat is set to a value of 1 ("Other"). For all other values of AlertingElementFormat, the value of this string must be set to NULL.'
'A string that uniquely identifies the entity that owns the definition of the format of the Message described in this instance. OwningEntity MUST include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity or standards body defining the format.'
'An enumerated value that describes the severity of the Alert 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 AlertIndication is purely informational or its severity is simply unknown.'
