Add GE/ABB CP841 DC Power System monitoring template

[redpeppers-01]

Template Summary

SNMP monitoring template for GE/ABB CP841 DC power system controllers used in telecommunications infrastructure, data centers, and mission-critical power environments.

What's Included

• 66 monitoring items - Comprehensive DC plant metrics, alarm detection, rectifier management, battery monitoring, efficiency control, and system inventory
• 12 triggers - Complete fault detection with DISASTER/HIGH/AVERAGE/WARNING severity levels (100% manual closure)
• 6 value mappings - Alarm states, plant modes, efficiency states, battery discharge, service availability
• 3 user macros - Customizable current, voltage, and rectifier thresholds
• 3 graphs - DC voltage overview, DC current overview, rectifier capacity tracking
• 1 dashboard - Pre-built CP841 Power System Overview dashboard
• Comprehensive README - 700+ lines covering installation, use cases, troubleshooting, NOC procedures

Monitoring Capabilities

• Availability Monitoring - ICMP ping + SNMP agent health checks
• Alarm Detection - 30+ alarms including AC failure, battery discharge, rectifier failures, voltage alarms, EPO, communication failures
• DC Plant Metrics - Voltage, current, power output, load tracking, plant state (Float/Boost/Equalize)
• Rectifier Management - Online capacity, rectifier count, individual monitoring, redundancy verification
• Battery Monitoring - State of charge, reserve time, discharge state, voltage/current tracking
• Efficiency Control - Energy management state and threshold monitoring
• System Inventory - Controller version, site identification, MIB-2 system information

Technical Details

• Zabbix Version: 7.2+
• Protocol: SNMPv2c/SNMPv3 (native monitoring, no external scripts)
• Enterprise OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.13858 (GE Energy/ABB)
• Syntax: Modern Zabbix 7.2+ get[OID] format
• Dependencies: None (self-contained, no external scripts or MIB files required)

Use Cases

• Telecommunications central offices (24/7 power availability)
• Data center power distribution (-48VDC for networking/telecom equipment)
• Remote cell site/tower monitoring (unmanned sites)
• Critical infrastructure (emergency services, public safety communications)

Template Guidelines Compliance

✓ Black-box availability monitoring (ICMP + SNMP)
✓ Fault monitoring with vendor diagnostics
✓ Performance monitoring (DC metrics, rectifiers, battery)
✓ Inventory and state tracking
✓ Flexible configuration via user macros
✓ No external dependencies (native SNMP only)
✓ Single resource scope (one DC power system)
✓ Proper value mappings
✓ 100% manual trigger closure capability
✓ Comprehensive documentation
