The CIM Ruby gem is an implementation of the Common Information Model (CIM) meta schema[1]

About

The Common Information Model provides a common definition of management information for systems, networks, applications and services.[2]

The CIM meta schema is used to describe elements of the CIM model, like types (CIM::Type), properties (CIM::Property), methods (CIM::Method) and classes (CIM::Class).

Elements of the CIM model can be defined as text files using the Managed Object Format (MOF)[3] or by inspection on a running CIM Object Manager (CIMOM)[4]

Primary users of the CIM gem are the MOF gem [5], a parser for MOF files, and ruby-sfcc[6], a Ruby CIM client api.

Usage

  require 'cim'
