I have an interesting task to monitor network traffic. I am monitoring lot of interfaces, mainly RX uplinks in our network. And I have normal graphs. As you can see sometimes on some uplink I see traffic or power of fiber optical line continuously weakening.
I need to define triggers: 1 dB decreasing in 1 hour (if dB value will decrease minus 1 dB in last 1 hour, for example i have -30 dB and in 1 hour will decrease to -31 dB) 1,5 dB decreasing in 1 day 2 dB decreasing in 1 month 2,5 dB decreasing in 6 months 3 dB / 1 year
The goal is to get information "on time" about continuously weakening uplink, because we need to manage on time the repair of the cable.
