Abstract
Systems and methods include detecting a fast fiber transient on a span based on analyzing power data, wherein the power data is for any of optical wavelengths of traffic channels, optical service channel (OSC) wavelengths, and telemetry from a network element; and responsive to detecting the fast fiber transient, causing an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) trace on the span with a specific configuration based on the fast fiber transient.
