Add BARD MC4000 Series HVAC Monitoring Template

Description

Comprehensive SNMP monitoring template for BARD MC4000 Series precision HVAC controllers used in telecommunications shelters, data centers, and critical infrastructure environments. This template provides complete visibility into dual-unit HVAC systems with multi-stage cooling/heating, redundancy management, and comprehensive fault detection.

Features

• 53 monitoring items: 10 fault detection, 18 performance metrics, 5 configuration, 11 inventory, 5 system status, 2 availability
• 15 triggers with 100% manual closure support
  • 2 DISASTER (fire/smoke shutdown, controller failure)
  • 6 HIGH (power loss, unit lockout, ICMP/SNMP loss)
  • 7 AVERAGE (temperature alarms, generator running, controller locked)
• Native SNMP monitoring - No external scripts or dependencies
• Built-in dashboard with multi-sensor temperature display, lead/lag status, and system overview
• 15 value mappings for human-readable status display
• 6 user macros for flexible threshold configuration
• 5 comprehensive graphs - Temperature overview, setpoints, cooling stages, heating stages, system status

Technical Details

• Zabbix Version: 7.2+
• Protocol: SNMPv2c/v3
• Enterprise OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.44433 (TTMI-MIB)
