CIM provides a conceptual model for describing manageable objects in a systems management environment. CIM is a modeling tool rather than a programming language. CIM provides the structure for organizing objects into a model of a managed environment. For modeling a managed environment, CIM makes available abstract and concrete classes of objects. These classes model the basic characteristics of systems, networks, applications, and groupings of management-related data.

NOTE: For more information about CIM, see the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) website at dmtf.org and the Microsoft website at microsoft.com .

Dell Defined Classes:

Dell-defined Classes are defined and populated by Dell rather than by the Common Information Model (CIM).

The CIM Classes UpdateEvents, PenetrationRate, and Non-Compliance are recorded under ROOT\DELL\PlatformUpdateEvents where the classes get registered during service start, and data is populated at the same cadence as the Telemetry Events. So, Bradbury Service updates the same data using CIM classes which are sent to Platinum.

The following tables are the Class structure, and their properties are present under PlatformUpdateEvents:
