Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for automated detection and notification of interconnect errors or failure. An interconnect is tested via passive or active means. Error data associated with data transferred via the interconnect is measured and analyzed to generate error statistics. Error statistics are then used to determine an error rate of the interconnect and an alert is generated if the error rate exceeds a threshold. Alerts are displayed to users for troubleshooting and/or for indication that the interconnect should be replaced.
