class AMT_MessageLog
extends CIM_MessageLog

General Information:
Extends MessageLog with multiple record fetching

Product Specific Usage:
This class implements an alternate method for accessing the event log.
Client should read the record time parameter in order to determine which record is newer.
In most implementations, log entries are stored backwards, i.e. the newest record is the first record and the oldest record is the last (index based).

Records have no header and the record data is combined of 21 binary bytes which could be read as:

struct {
UINT32 TimeStamp; // little endian
UINT8 DeviceAddress;
UINT8 EventSensorType;
UINT8 EventType;
UINT8 EventOffset;
UINT8 EventSourceType;
UINT8 EventSeverity;
UINT8 SensorNumber;
UINT8 Entity;
UINT8 EntityInstance;
UINT8 EventData[8];

} EVENT_DATA;

Field Detail

CharacterSet

public uint16 CharacterSet
General Information:
An enumeration describing the character set used to record data in the individual Log entries. For example, the Log records may contain ASCII data (value=2), or be raw octet strings (value=10).

Qualifiers:
-------------
ValueMap={0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11}
Values={Unknown, Other, ASCII, Unicode, ISO2022, ISO8859, Extended UNIX Code, UTF-8, UCS-2, Bitmapped Data, OctetString, Defined by Individual Records}


IsFrozen

public boolean IsFrozen
General Information:
Boolean indicating that the Log is currently frozen and modifications are not allowed.


LastChange

public uint16 LastChange
General Information:
An enumeration describing the last change to the MessageLog.

Qualifiers:
-------------
ValueMap={0, 1, 2, 3, 4}
Values={Unknown, Add, Delete, Modify, Log Cleared}


PercentageNearFull

public uint8 PercentageNearFull
General Information:
If the OverwritePolicy is based on clearing records when the Log is near full (value=3), this property defines the record capacity (in percentage) that is considered to be 'near full'.

Qualifiers:
-------------
Units=Percent
ModelCorrespondence={CIM_MessageLog.OverwritePolicy}


OverwritePolicy

public uint16 OverwritePolicy
General Information:
An enumeration describing the behavior of the Log, when it becomes full or near full. For example, the Log may wrap (value=2) or may simply stop recording entries (value =7).

Some of the property's possible values need further explanation:
3="Clear When Near Full" indicates that all of the Log's entries will be deleted when a specified record capacity is reached. The capacity is specified in percentage, using the property, PercentageNearFull. 'Near Full' may be less than 100% if the Log takes time to clear, and a position should always be available for new records.
4="Overwrite Outdated When Needed" describes that Log entries (timestamped later than the date/time specified in the property, TimeWhenOutdated) can be overwritten.
5="Remove Outdated Records" specifies that records (timestamped later than the date/time specified in the property, TimeWhenOutdated) are logically and/or physically removed from the Log.
6="Overwrite Specific Records" indicates that specially flagged records may be overwritten. This property only makes sense when the Capabilities array includes a value of 10, "Can Flag Records for Overwrite".

Qualifiers:
-------------
Override=OverwritePolicy
ValueMap={0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}
Values={Unknown, Other, Wraps When Full, Clear When Near Full, Overwrite Outdated When Needed, Remove Outdated Records, Overwrite Specific Records, Never Overwrite}
ModelCorrespondence={CIM_MessageLog.OtherPolicyDescription, CIM_MessageLog.TimeWhenOutdated, CIM_MessageLog.PercentageNearFull}


SizeOfRecordHeader

public uint64 SizeOfRecordHeader
General Information:
The size of the header for the Log's individual entries, in bytes, if record headers are defined. If there are no record headers, then this property should be set to 0. Record headers may include information such as the type of the Log entry, the date/time that the entry was last updated, or a pointer to the start of optional data. Note that this property defines the header size for individual records in the Log, while the SizeOfHeader property describes the Log's overall header, typically located at the start of the MessageLog.

Qualifiers:
-------------
Units=Bytes


MaxRecordSize

public uint64 MaxRecordSize
General Information:
Maximum size, in bytes, to which an individual Log entry (record) can grow - if the Capabilities array includes a value of 7 ("Variable Length Records Supported"). If the Capabilities array does not include a 7, then the Log only supports fixed length entries. The size of these entries is described by this property.

Qualifiers:
-------------
Units=Bytes


SizeOfHeader

public uint64 SizeOfHeader
General Information:
The size of the Log header, in bytes, if one is present. If there is no Log header, then this property should be set to 0. Headers may include general information about the Log such as the current number of records, time of last update, or a pointer to the location of the first Log entry. Note that this property is NOT the size of the header for an individual Log entry. The latter is described by the property, SizeOfRecordHeader.

Qualifiers:
-------------
Units=Bytes


MaxLogSize

public uint64 MaxLogSize
General Information:
The maximum size, in bytes, to which the Log can grow. If there is no maximum, then MaxLogSize should be set to 0.

Qualifiers:
-------------
Units=Bytes


Capabilities

public uint16[4] Capabilities
General Information:
An array of integers indicating the Log capabilities. Information such as "Write Record Supported" (value= 2) or "Variable Length Records Supported" (8) is specified in this property.

Name Key

public string Name
General Information:
The inherited Name serves as part of the key (a unique identifier) for the MessageLog instance.

Product Specific Usage:
In Intel AMT Release 6.0 and later releases value is "Intel(r) AMT:MessageLog 1"

CreationClassName Key

public string CreationClassName
General Information:
CreationClassName 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.

Product Specific Usage:
In Intel AMT Release 6.0 and later releases value is "AMT_MessageLog"

Qualifiers:
-------------

MaxLen=256


EnabledDefault

public uint16 EnabledDefault
General Information:
An enumerated value indicating an administrator's default or startup configuration for the Enabled State of an element. By default, the element is "Enabled" (value=2).

Qualifiers:
-------------
Write
ValueMap={2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, .., 32768..65535}
Values={Enabled, Disabled, Not Applicable, Enabled but Offline, No Default, Quiesce, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Reserved}


RequestedState

public uint16 RequestedState
General Information:
RequestedState is an integer enumeration that indicates the last requested or desired state for the element, irrespective of the mechanism through which it was requested. The actual state of the element is represented by EnabledState. This property is provided to compare the last requested and current enabled or disabled states. Note that when EnabledState is set to 5 ("Not Applicable"), then this property has no meaning. Refer to the EnabledState property description for explanations of the values in the RequestedState enumeration.
"Unknown" (0) indicates the last requested state for the element is unknown.
Note that the value "No Change" (5) has been deprecated in lieu of indicating the last requested state is "Unknown" (0). If the last requested or desired state is unknown, RequestedState should have the value "Unknown" (0), but may have the value "No Change" (5).Offline (6) indicates that the element has been requested to transition to the Enabled but Offline EnabledState.
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). Reboot refers to doing a "Shut Down" and then moving to an "Enabled" state. Reset indicates that the element is first "Disabled" and then "Enabled". The distinction between requesting "Shut Down" and "Disabled" should also be noted. Shut Down requests an orderly transition to the Disabled state, and might involve removing power, to completely erase any existing state. 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 can be overridden and defined as WRITEable in a subclass. The method approach is considered superior to a WRITEable property, because it allows an explicit invocation of the operation and the return of a result code.

If knowledge of the last RequestedState is not supported for the EnabledLogicalElement, the property shall be NULL or have the value 12 "Not Applicable".

ModelCorrespondence={CIM_EnabledLogicalElement.EnabledState}


EnabledState

public uint16 EnabledState
General Information:
EnabledState is an integer enumeration that indicates the enabled and 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 and disabled states:
Enabled (2) indicates that the element is or 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 does not support being enabled or disabled.
Enabled but Offline (6) indicates that the element might 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 might be completing commands, but will queue any new requests.
Quiesce (9) indicates that the element is enabled but in a restricted mode.
Starting (10) indicates that the element is in the process of going to an Enabled state. New requests are queued.

ModelCorrespondence={CIM_EnabledLogicalElement.OtherEnabledState}


HealthState

public uint16 HealthState
General Information:
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 completely 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 might not be possible.
"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.
"Minor Failure" (15) - All functionality is available but some might 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 might not be operating at optimal performance or it might 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 cannot report on HealthState at this time.
DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in the future.

Values={Unknown, OK, Degraded/Warning, Minor failure, Major failure, Critical failure, Non-recoverable error, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Specific}


Status

public string Status
General Information:
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 definition overcomes the limitation of describing status using a single value, when it is really a multi-valued property (for example, an element might be OK AND Stopped.
2) A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values.
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.

Qualifiers:
-------------
Deprecated={CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus}
ValueMap={OK, Error, Degraded, Unknown, Pred Fail, Starting, Stopping, Service, Stressed, NonRecover, No Contact, Lost Comm, Stopped}
MaxLen=10


OperationalStatus

public uint16[] OperationalStatus
General Information:
Indicates the current statuses 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 here in more detail.
"Stressed" indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of "Stressed" states are overload, overheated, and so on.
"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 state and configuration of the element might need to be updated.
"Dormant" indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced.
"Supporting Entity in Error" indicates that this element might 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 that 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 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" indicates that the element has additional power model information contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association.
"Relocating" indicates the element is being relocated.
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 because it required the deprecated qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, it is strongly recommended that providers or 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 (because it is single-valued) should also provide the primary status of the element.

ElementName

public string ElementName
General Information:
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 the Name property of ManagedSystemElement 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 can be present in both the Name and ElementName properties. Note that if there is an associated instance of CIM_EnabledLogicalElementCapabilities, restrictions on this properties may exist as defined in ElementNameMask and MaxElementNameLen properties defined in that class.

Qualifiers:

MaxNumberOfRecords

public uint64 MaxNumberOfRecords

public uint64 CurrentNumberOfRecords
General Information:
Current number of records in the Log.

Qualifiers:
-------------

LogState

public uint16 LogState
General Information:
LogState is an integer enumeration that indicates the current state of a log represented by CIM_Log subclasses. LogState is to be used in conjunction with the EnabledState property to fully describe the current state of the log. The following text briefly summarizes the various log states:
Unknown (0) indicates the state of the log is unknown.
Normal (2) indicates that the log is or could be executing logging commands, will process any queued log entries, and will queue new logging requests.
Erasing (3) indicates that the log is being erased.
Not Applicable (4) indicates the log does not support representing a log state.

Additional Notes:
1) 'LogState' property is supported in Intel AMT Release 4.0 and later releases.

Method Detail

CancelIteration

public uint32 CancelIteration([IN]string IterationIdentifier)
Permission Information:
Permitted realms: ADMIN_SECURITY_EVENT_MANAGER_REALM, ADMIN_SECURITY_EVENT_LOG_READER_REALM

General Information:
Requests that an iteration of the Log, identified by the IterationIdentifier input parameter, be stopped. The return value from CancelIteration should be 0 if the request was successfully executed, 1 if the request is not supported and some other value if an error occurred. In a subclass, the set of possible return codes could be specified, using a ValueMap qualifier on the method. The strings to which the ValueMap contents are 'translated' may also be specified in the subclass as a Values array qualifier.

Product Specific Usage:
In current implementation this method doesn't have any affect. In order to get the events from the log user should just call GetRecord or GetRecords.

Parameters:
--------------
IterationIdentifier
General Information:
An identifier for the iterator.

Qualifiers:

RequestStateChange

public uint32 RequestStateChange([IN]uint16 RequestedState, [OUT]REF CIM_ConcreteJob Job, [IN]datetime TimeoutPeriod)
Permission Information:
Permitted realms: ADMIN_SECURITY_EVENT_MANAGER_REALM, ADMIN_SECURITY_EVENT_LOG_READER_REALM

General Information:
Requests that the state of the element be changed to the value specified in the RequestedState parameter. When the requested state change takes place, the EnabledState and RequestedState of the element will be the same. Invoking the RequestStateChange method multiple times could result in earlier requests being overwritten or lost.
A return code of 0 shall indicate the state change was successfully initiated.
A return code of 3 shall indicate that the state transition cannot complete within the interval specified by the TimeoutPeriod parameter.
A return code of 4096 (0x1000) shall indicate the state change was successfully initiated, a ConcreteJob has been created, and its reference returned in the output parameter Job. Any other return code indicates an error condition.

Product Specific Usage:
Additional Notes:
1) 'RequestStateChange' in Intel AMT Release 3.2 is permitted only to 'ADMIN_SECURITY_EVENT_MANAGER_REALM'.
2) In current implementation this method isn't supported (user will always get "Not Supported" as a return status).

TimeoutPeriod
General Information:
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 does not support this parameter, a return code of 'Use Of Timeout Parameter Not Supported' shall be returned.

Qualifiers:
-------------

ClearLog

public uint32 ClearLog()
Permission Information:
Permitted realms: ADMIN_SECURITY_EVENT_MANAGER_REALM

General Information:
Requests that the Log be cleared of all entries.
The return value should be 0 if the request was successfully executed, 1 if the request is not supported, and some other value, as indicated by the ValueMap/Values qualifiers, if an error occurred.

Product Specific Usage:
Since vendor reserved values start at 0x8000, any error status values will be biased by 0x8000. The document Intel AMT WS-Management Flows lists the possible Intel AMT error status values in the section Function Return Values and Errors.

Permission Information:
Permitted realms: ADMIN_SECURITY_EVENT_MANAGER_REALM, ADMIN_SECURITY_EVENT_LOG_READER_REALM

General Information:
Retrieves multiple records from event log

Product Specific Usage:
Additional Notes:
1) Return value 'No record exists in log' (3) is supported in Intel AMT Release 4.0 and later releases only.
2) the IterationIdentifier input parameter is a numeric value (starting at 1) which is the position of the first record in the log that should be extracted.

GetRecord

public uint32 GetRecord([IN][OUT]string IterationIdentifier, [IN]boolean PositionToNext, [OUT]uint64 RecordNumber, [OUT]uint8 RecordData[])
Permission Information:
Permitted realms: ADMIN_SECURITY_EVENT_MANAGER_REALM, ADMIN_SECURITY_EVENT_LOG_READER_REALM

General Information:
Requests that the record indicated by the IterationIdentifier be retrieved from the MessageLog. After retrieval, the IterationIdentifier may be advanced to the next record by setting the PositionToNext input parameter to TRUE. Two output parameters are defined for the method - RecordData which holds the contents of the Log entry (as an array of bytes that can be recast to an appropriate format), and RecordNumber which returns the current record number addressed via the Iteration Identifier. The RecordNumber parameter is only defined/valid when the Capabilities array indicates that ordinal record number addressing is supported (a value of 7).

IterationIdentifier is defined as an Input/Output method parameter to allow the Log to embed state information in the Identifier and potentially let the identifier be maintained by the using application.

Product Specific Usage:
IterationIdentifier is a numeric value which is the position of the record in the log that should be extracted (starting at 1).

PositionAtRecord

public uint32 PositionAtRecord([IN][OUT]string IterationIdentifier, [IN]boolean MoveAbsolute, [IN][OUT]sint64 RecordNumber)
Permission Information:
Permitted realms: ADMIN_SECURITY_EVENT_MANAGER_REALM, ADMIN_SECURITY_EVENT_LOG_READER_REALM

General Information:
Requests that the Log's iteration identifier be advanced or retreated a specific number of records, or set to the entry at a specified numeric location. These two different behaviors are accomplished using the input parameters of the method. Advancing or retreating is achieved by setting the MoveAbsolute boolean to FALSE, and then specifying the number of entries to advance or retreat as positive or negative values in the RecordNumber parameter. Moving to a specific record number is accomplished by setting the MoveAbsolute input parameter to TRUE, and then placing the record number into the RecordNumber parameter. This can only be done if the Capabilities array includes a value of 7, "Supports Addressing by Ordinal Record Number".

After the method completes and if ordinal record numbers are supported (the Capabilities array includes a 7), the current record number is returned in the RecordNumber output parameter. Otherwise, the value of the parameter is undefined.

IterationIdentifier is defined as an Input/Output method parameter to allow the Log to embed state information in the Identifier and potentially let the identifier be maintained by the using application.

Note: In a subclass, the set of possible return codes could be described using a ValueMap qualifier on the method. The strings to which the ValueMap contents are 'translated' may also be specified in the subclass as a Values array qualifier.

Product Specific Usage:
Additional Notes:
1) The Argument 'RecordNumber' of the 'PositionAtRecord' method is of type 'sint32' in Intel AMT Release 3.2 and earlier releases.
2) In current implementation this method doesn't have any affect. In order to get the events from the log user should just call GetRecord or GetRecords.

Qualifiers:

Override=PositionAtRecord
ValueMap={0, 1, 2}
Values={Completed with No Error, Not Supported, Invalid record pointed}


Parameters:
--------------
IterationIdentifier
General Information:
An identifier for the iterator.

IN
OUT

MoveAbsolute
General Information:
Advancing or retreating the IterationIdentifier is achieved by setting the MoveAbsolute boolean to FALSE, and specifying the number of entries to advance or retreat as positive or negative values in the RecordNumber parameter. Moving to a specific record number is accomplished by setting the MoveAbsolute parameter to TRUE, and placing the record number into the RecordNumber parameter.

PositionToFirstRecord

public uint32 PositionToFirstRecord([OUT]string IterationIdentifier)
Permission Information:
Permitted realms: ADMIN_SECURITY_EVENT_MANAGER_REALM, ADMIN_SECURITY_EVENT_LOG_READER_REALM

General Information:
Requests that an iteration of the MessageLog be established and that the iterator be set to the first entry in the Log. An identifier for the iterator is returned as an output parameter of the method.

Regarding iteration, you have 2 choices: 1) Embed iteration data in the method call, and allow implementations to track/ store this data manually; or, 2) Iterate using a separate object (for example, class ActiveIterator) as an iteration agent. The first approach is used here for interoperability. The second requires an instance of the Iterator object for EACH iteration in progress. 2's functionality could be implemented underneath 1.

Product Specific Usage:
In current implementation this method doesn't have any affect. In order to get the events from the log user should just call GetRecord or GetRecords.

Qualifiers:
-------------
Override=PositionToFirstRecord
ValueMap={0, 1, 2}
Values={Completed with No Error, Not Supported, No record exists}


Parameters:
--------------
IterationIdentifier
General Information:
An identifier for the iterator.

Qualifiers:
-------------
IN=false
OUT



FreezeLog

public uint32 FreezeLog([IN]boolean Freeze)
Permission Information:
Permitted realms: ADMIN_SECURITY_EVENT_MANAGER_REALM, ADMIN_SECURITY_EVENT_LOG_READER_REALM

General Information:
Requests that the MessageLog be placed in a frozen state ("Freeze" input parameter = TRUE) or 'unfrozen' (= FALSE). If frozen, modifications to the Log will not be allowed. If successful, the Log's IsFrozen boolean property will be updated to reflect the desired state.

The method's return code should be 0 if the request was successfully executed, 1 if the request is not supported and some other value if an error occurred. If the request is not supported, check the Capabilities array that a value of 5 ("Freeze Log Supported") is specified.

Note: In a subclass, the set of possible return codes could be described using a ValueMap qualifier on the method. The strings to which the ValueMap contents are 'translated' may also be specified in the subclass as a Values array qualifier.

Product Specific Usage:
Any error status values other then '0' will be biased by 0x8000. The document Intel AMT WS-Management Flows lists the possible Intel AMT error status values in the section Function Return Values and Errors.

Additional Notes:
1) 'FreezeLog' in Intel AMT Release 3.2 is permitted only to 'ADMIN_SECURITY_EVENT_MANAGER_REALM'.

Qualifiers:
-------------
Override=FreezeLog


Parameters:
--------------
Freeze
General Information:
If TRUE then freeze the log, if FALSE 'unfreeze' the log.
