A method includes collecting values for a plurality of optical parameters from a first reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer and a second reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer connected by an optical link of an optical network, wherein the first reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer and the second reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer are provided by different vendors, comparing the values to previously collected values for the plurality of optical parameters, determining, based on the comparing, that a change has been detected in a power value of at least one channel of at least one of: the first reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer or the second reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer, and sending an instruction to at least one of: the first reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer or the second reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer to adjust a transmit power of the at least one of: the first reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer or the second reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer.
