Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for logging long-term data and analyzing the long-term data with short-term data to determine the health of fiber connections in an optical network. A method, according to one implementation, includes a step of obtaining data associated with performance of fiber connections of an optical network. The fiber connections include at least an inter-node fiber connecting two adjacent network nodes and an intra-node fiber connection connecting two photonic devices within each of the two adjacent network nodes. The method further includes the step of logging the data over time as historical data and then analyzing the health of the fiber connections based on the historical data and newly-obtained data. Also, the method includes displaying a report on an interactive user interface, whereby the report is configured to show the health of the fiber connections.
