Class CIM_LogRecord
extends CIM_ManagedElement

The LogRecord object can describe the definitional format for entries in a MessageLog, or can be used to instantiate the actual records in the Log. The latter approach provides a great deal more semantic definition and management control over the individual entries in a MessageLog, than do the record manipulation methods of the Log class. It is recommended that the data in individual Log entries be modeled using subclasses of LogRecord, to avoid the creation of LogRecords with one property (such as RecordData) without semantics. Definitional formats for LogRecords could be specified by establishing a naming convention for the RecordID and Message Timestamp key properties.

Captionstring
DescriptionstringThe Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.None TRANSLATABLE= true
MaxLenuint3264None None
CreationClassNamestring
DescriptionstringCreationClassName 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
KeybooleantrueNone OVERRIDABLE= false
MaxLenuint32256None None
DataFormatstring
DescriptionstringA free-form string describing the LogRecord's data structure.None TRANSLATABLE= true
Descriptionstring
DescriptionstringThe Description property provides a textual description of the object.None TRANSLATABLE= true
ElementNamestring
DescriptionstringA 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.None TRANSLATABLE= true

DescriptionstringA LogRecord's key structure includes a timestamp for the entry.None TRANSLATABLE= true

RecordIDstring
DescriptionstringRecordID, 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
