How should we monitor cross-connect health in production?

Standard network monitoring tools handle the layer-one and layer-three view, but the most useful signals are link utilization trends, error and discard counts, and any divergence between the two ends of the link. For mission-critical cross-connects, set up active synthetic monitoring that probes the link continuously rather than relying on traffic-based metrics alone. Pair that with provider SLA reporting so you can hold the carrier accountable when something does fail.
