<h1 class="topictitle1">i5/OS™ support
for the CIM indication provider</h1>
<div><p>You can use the CIM metric indication provider to notify applications
when a specific metric event occurs.</p>
<p>The CIM indication provider notifies user applications when specified metric
data occurs on the server which the provider supervises. Each application
must subscribe to the provider by providing, in query form, information about
an event about which it wants data. An <dfn class="term">event</dfn> is an occurrence
of a phenomenon of interest. Examples of events are occurrences such as authentication
failures, disk-write errors, or even mouse click. The provider then notifies
the application when the event occurs. Such an occurrence is called an <dfn class="term">Indication</dfn>.
When metrics match client-submitted queries, the indication provider creates
the indication and returns it to the client.</p>
<div class="important"><span class="importanttitle">Important:</span> The metric indication provider only accepts queries
which filter on either the InstanceId or the MetricDefinitionId properties.
The provider rejects empty filters or a filter which provides only properties
other than these two.</div>
<p>The QYCP_ColSrvMetricIndicationProvider C++ class is the main class involved
in handling indications for metrics. The indication provider defines the following
methods:</p>
