Well, since this thread got deleted and it contained really good information and was linked from my blog, I thought I would re-post it.
This is in reference to the following news story: http://www.news.com.au/technology/story/0,28348,24939188-5014239,...
As a result of this article, I wrote a script that runs once a day and sends email alerts if call volume increases in any of the following 4 areas:
1.) Total outbound calls in the last 24 hours is higher than the threshold % versus average outbound calls per week day over the last 30 days
2.) Total international outbound calls in the last 24 hours is higher than the threshold % versus average outbound international calls per week day over the last 30 days
3.) Total outbound call duration over the last 24 hours is higher than the threshold % versus average daily outbound call duration per week day over the last 30 days
4.) Total international outbound call duration over the last 24 hours is higher than the threshold % versus average daily outbound international call duration per week day over the last 30 days
To download and install:
wget http://public.schmoozecom.com/AbnormalCallVolume-1.0-1.noarch.rpm rpm -Uvh AbnormalCallVolume-1.0-1.noarch.rpm service crond restart nano /usr/local/sbin/abnormal.php
Once editing the abnormal.php file, change the email address and if you would like daily reports regardless if thresholds were met, change $daily_report = false; to $daily_report = true; If you only want to receive reports if thresholds were reached, leave this as false. You can also change the threshold percentages if you so choose. By default an email alert gets triggered if any of the four areas described above increase by 20% or more in a day.
Update: And then the missing forum topics reappear...
