esaProbeHistoryIndex is a 32-bit integer numbering this probe's entries within its growing historical statistics log, with one entry created per closed interval over time. Since the history table accumulates a row per closed bin rather than just two live rows, this index is simply how a manager enumerates and walks through that growing log for a given probe. For example, a reporting tool can walk this index from its lowest to highest value to pull an entire week's worth of a probe's past performance bins in order.
