This read-only object reports the current lifecycle state of a histogram specification, transitioning to statusCaptured once collection finishes and the data becomes available for use. The desc specifies that none of the histogram's configuration parameters can be changed while the status is statusInProgress, and a captured or stopped histogram must be cleared via p2mpHistAction before it can be restarted. For example, an admin polling p2mpHistStatus and seeing statusInProgress would know to wait rather than attempt to modify p2mpCollDuration or other settings on that same entry.
