TL1 to automate xWDM tasks

Hi there

I've spent some time with TL1 scripts with the goal of lowering the amount of alarms in our xWDM network.

This far I've managed to write a script that scans our nodes for Client port LOS and puts the ports auto in service (Auto monitored) if the alarm has been active for more than 12h (the port goes back to service if it detects a signal for more than 5 minutes).

My other one is one that finds OPR high/low (optical power received) on client ports and automatically logs in, gets the low/high threshold and compiles a simple text file with the node, port, received power and a suggestion on what attenuator to add (or just clean/replace patch if the signal is to low) that I can forward to our delivery team.

Now that this is done I'm looking for other things to automate using TL1 and was hoping that you would have some suggestions?
