CIM_ManagedSystemElement class
The base class for the System Element hierarchy. Any distinguishable component of a System is a candidate for inclusion in this class. Examples of system components include:
- software components such as application servers, databases, and applications
- operating system components such as files, processes, and threads
- device components such as disk drives, controllers, processors, and printers
- physical components such as chips and cards.
The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of the inherited properties.

Properties
The CIM_ManagedSystemElement class has these properties.
-
Caption
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MaxLen (64)
A short textual description of the object.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.
-
-
Description
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
A textual description of the object.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.
-
-
ElementName
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
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
-
Qualifiers: Experimental
Indicates the current health of the element. This attribute expresses the health of this element but not necessarily that of its subcomponents.
-
-
Unknown (0)
-
The implementation can not 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 may not be operating at optimal performance or it may be reporting recoverable errors.
-
Minor failure (15)
-
All functionality is available but some may be degraded.
-
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.
-
Critical failure (25)
-
The element is non-functional and recovery may not be possible.
-
Non-recoverable error (30)
-
The element has completed failed and recovery is not possible. All functionality provided by this element has been lost.
-
DMTF Reserved
InstallDate
-
Data type: datetime
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("MIF.DMTF|ComponentID|001.5")
A datetime value indicating when the object was installed. A lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed.
Name
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MaxLen (1024)
The label by which the object is known. In subclasses the Name property can be overridden to be a Key property.
OperationalStatus
-
Data type: uint16 array
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: ArrayType ("Indexed"), ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_ManagedSystemElement.StatusDescriptions")
Indicates the current status of the element. Various operational statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration's values are self- explanatory.
OperationalStatus replaces the Status property 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. 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 should also provide the primary status of the element since it is single-valued.
Unknown (0)
Other (1)
OK (2)
Degraded (3)
Stressed (4)
The element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of Stressed states are overload and overheated.
Predictive Failure (5)
The element is functioning nominally but predicting a failure in the near future.
Error (6)
Non-Recoverable Error (7)
Starting (8)
Stopping (9)
Stopped (10)
Implies a clean and orderly stop
In Service (11)
The element is being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered.
No Contact (12)
The monitoring system has knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish communications with it.
Lost Communication (13)
The element is known to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently unreachable.
Aborted (14)
Implies an abrupt stop where the element's state and configuration may need to be updated.
Dormant (15)
The element is inactive or quiesced.
Supporting Entity in Error (16)
This element may be OK but 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 (17)
The element has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can tell if the complete operation succeeded or not. Completed with Degraded would imply the operation finished, but did not complete OK or report an error.
Power Mode (18)
The element has additional power model information contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association.

Status
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: Deprecated ("CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus"), MaxLen (10)
A string indicating the current status of the object. This property is deprecated in favor of OperationalStatus, which includes the same semantics in its enumeration.
