This Integer32, ranging 1-99, is the index for this sensor: the unique row identifier in the mbmSensorTable distinguishing one hardware sensor from another on the same host. Admins use it to correlate a specific sensor's name, type, and readings across the table when a board reports many sensors at once. A device with three fan sensors might expose them as mbmSensorIndex values 1, 2, and 3, each with its own name and readout.
