OCPP Diagnostics Playbook: From Noise to Signal

A practical checklist for reducing false alarms while catching the real failures.

The problem

Many networks drown in alerts. A connector flaps, a modem resets, and suddenly your ops team is firefighting all day.

A simple approach

  1. Group by site and charger model
  2. Deduplicate repeated faults within a time window
  3. Escalate only when impact is proven (sessions failing, payments failing)

Metrics to track

  • Mean time to acknowledge (MTTA)
  • Mean time to repair (MTTR)
  • Alert-to-incident ratio
