> Yes the probe here is a lack of monitoring.
No?
Like, okay, monitoring reports what there is no link.
Now what? Somebody gets a hi vis vest, a hard hat and goes along the cable to investigate the reason?
There is nothing monitoring could help, especially if the cable was cut recent enough.

> An RFTS enables fiber to be automatically tested from a central location. A central computer is used to control the operation of OTDR-like test components located at key points in the fiber network. The test components scan the fiber to locate problems. If a problem is found, its location is noted and the appropriate personnel are notified to begin the repair process.
