ElementName

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Contains 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.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.

HealthState

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Indicates the current health of the element. This attribute expresses the health of this element but not necessarily that of its sub-components.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

Values Meaning
Unknown
0
 The implementation cannot report on HealthState at this time.
OK
5
 The element is fully functional and is operating within normal operational parameters and without error.
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 might not be operating at optimal performance or it might be reporting recoverable errors
Minor failure
15
 All functionality is available but some might be degraded.
Major failure
20
 The element is failing. It is possible that some or all of the functionality of this component is degraded or not working.
Critical failure
25
 The element is non-functional and recovery might not be possible.
Non-recoverable error
30
 The element has completely failed, and recovery is not possible. All functionality provided by this element has been lost.
DMTF Reserved
31 = value
DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates values in the future.

InstallDate

Data type: datetime

Access type: Read-only

Indicates when the object was installed. The lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

InstanceID

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Uniquely and opaquely identifies an instance of this class within the scope of the containing Namespace.

[!Important]In order to ensure uniqueness within the Namespace, the value of InstanceID should be constructed in the following pattern:

OrgID:LocalID

OrgID must include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity defining the InstanceID, or be a registered ID that is assigned by a recognized global authority. This is similar to the structure of Schema class names. In addition, to ensure uniqueness the first colon in InstanceID must be between the OrgID andLocalID. Therefor the OrgID must not contain a colon (':').

LocalID is chosen by the business entity and should not be re-used to identify different underlying real-world elements.

If the preceding pattern 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 Namespace.

For Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) defined instances, the pattern must be used with the OrgID set to CIM.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.

Name

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (1024)

Indicates the user-friendly name for this instance of a job. In addition, the user-friendly name can be used as a property for a search or query.

[!Tip]
Name does not have to be unique within a namespace.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

OperatingStatus

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_EnabledLogicalElement.EnabledState")

Indicates the current operational condition of the element. This property can be used to provide more detail about the current state of the element. It can also indicate transitional states. A NULL value indicates that the instrumentation does not support this property.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

Value Meaning

Aborted
6
 Indicates that the element stopped in an unexpected way.
Dormant
7
 Indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced.
Completed

OperationalStatus

Data type: uint16 array

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ArrayType ("Indexed"), ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_ManagedSystemElement.StatusDescriptions")

Contains indicators of the current status of the element. The first value of OperationalStatus should contain the primary status for the element.

Note

OperationalStatus replaces the deprecated Status property. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, Microsoft strongly recommends that providers or instrumentation provide both the Status and OperationalStatus properties. When instrumented, Status (because it is single-valued) should also provide the primary status of the element.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

Values Meaning
Unknown
0
 Indicates the implementation cannot report on OperationalStatus at this time.
Other
1
 Indicates an undefined state.
OK
2
 Indicates full functionality without errors.
Degraded
3
 Indicates the element is working and all functionality is provided. However, the element is not working to the best of its abilities. For example, the element might not be operating at optimal performance or it might be reporting recoverable errors
Stressed
4
 Indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Overload and overheated are examples of Stressed states.
Predictive Failure
5
 Indicates that an element is functioning nominally but predicting a failure in the near future.
Error
6
 Indicates that an error has occurred.
Non-Recoverable Error
7
 A nonrecoverable error has occurred.
Starting
8
 The job is starting.
Stopping
9
 The job is stopping.
Stopped
10
 The element has been intentionally stopped.
In Service
11
 Indicates the element is being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered.
No Contact
12
 Indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish communications with it.
Lost Communication
13
 Indicates that the job is known to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently unreachable.
Aborted
14
 Indicates the job stopped in an unexpected way. The state and configuration of the job might need to be updated.
Dormant
15
 Indicates that the job is inactive.
Supporting Entity in Error
16
 Indicates that an element on which this job depends is in error. This element may be OK but is unable to function because of the state of a dependent element. An example is a network service or endpoint that cannot function due to lower-layer networking problems.
Completed
17
 Indicates that the job has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, ErrorError, or Degraded so that a client can tell if the complete operation Completed with OK (passed), Completed with Error (failed), or Completed with Degraded (the operation finished, but it did not complete OK or did not report an error).
Power Mode
18
 "Power Mode" indicates that the element has additional power model information contained in the associated PowerManagementService association.
DMTF Reserved
