TemperatureSensorD4D - a read-only report and all the sensor data is collected in the back-end without any customer initiation.

Digest property helps consumer identify out of band changes in Custom MRD outside the influence of the component that created it. It helps as a reference to customers to track any changes made to the MRDs (Metric Report Definitions).
All Metric Report Definitions (MRD) have three new properties ServiceTag, MetricReportDefinitionDigest, and iDRACFirmwareVersion. Digest property helps consumer identify out-of-band changes in Custom MRD outside the influence of the component that created it.
