What is a stats alarm?
Stats alarms are alarms that can be added to a selected stats collection point in order to trigger an alert when calls whose properties match certain criteria have happened, such as calls above a particular duration, calls to specific phone numbers, or when user-defined cost thresholds are exceeded. The criteria that must be met to trigger an alarm is user-defined, and email alerts can be sent to one or more recipients.
Call statistics alarms are simply a variation of the standard "alarm" directory object and provide an additional means of keeping a tab on call patterns.
