This read-only enumerated value reports the status of the sampling operation that produced this historical data entry, as notAvailable(1), positive(2), or negative(3). An admin checks this to know whether a given data value is trustworthy before using it, since a notAvailable status means the underlying get operation didn't succeed. For example, a row showing negative(3) status alongside its value would flag that the sampled result was a negative number, which the admin should account for when interpreting the data.
