typically unless you have a roadm or something that will be causing the
individual channels to change or you can remotely attenuate them a
permanently installed monitor isn't necessary. If its just a static
filters at each end I would recommend just purchasing a channel checker
or simple OSA.
channel checker like this

OSA I would recommend picking up a used JDSU 6000 and a OSA-110M they
can be picked up for descent prices.

If you find something that is fairly cheap let me know as we have a
few 50-80KM runs that could use one on each side. You are looking at
something like this - https://www.fs.com/products/71586.html

Fiber multiplexers usually have a monitor port and 1%-5% of the light
is sent to the monitor port so you can know the status of each wave.
That’s all well and good, but what device can I plug into the monitor
port if I actually want to monitor them? I have an OPM of course, but
is there a network managed, SNMP capable device that I can get for this?
It must exist, but my Google Fu is not working.
