If I look at one of my (Cisco) switches, there is Health monitoring done by NPM. You know, power supplies, fans, temperatures and such. When I look at Other, there are several power sensors shown for fiber connections. While they are shown with a green heart and a dB value, only the green status is saved. Why not save the dB value of the strength instead? I notice things like the exact temperature are saved and not the "color of criticality", so why not be consistent and save the data for the fiber send and receive sensors?
