1. Create config file config.json
- PAGERDUTY_READ_ONLY_TOKEN is used for reading schedules and checking the overlaps.
- SCHEDULES array can contain one or more SCHEDULE items to check
- every SCHEDULE should have a NOTIFICATIONS section to create a PagerDuty incident or send a Slack message if overlap is found
- SCHEDULE can contain a EXCLUSION_DAYS key, which specifies days (3 letter abb.) in form of object with optional start and end time (hh:mm format CET TIMEZONE).If start or end is omitted, whole day is considered excluded.
Example below represents current weekend on-call setup.
Currently, we support Slack (SLACK with SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL and CHANNEL) or shorthanded SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL and
PagerDuty (PAGERDUTY with PAGERDUTY_TOKEN, PAGERDUTY_SERVICE_ID and PAGERDUTY_FROM) notifications. ThePAGERDUTY_TOKEN has to have full access.
For PagerDuty, an incident can either be directly assigned to the user with overlaps (default) or set to an escalation
policy (if specified by PAGERDUTY_ESCALATION_POLICY_ID in config).
All PagerDuty integrations are using PagerDuty API v2.
When generating an API token, select the v2 option.

2. Run command and check:
`sh
$ ./bin/pdoverrides check --config config.json
Config schedule IDs passed.
OK
`
For debugging you can use debug package included in the library:
DEBUG=pagerduty-overrides* ./bin/pdoverrides check -c config.json
Alternatively, you can include the DEBUG variable in the config.json` file (esp. for debugging on AWS Lambda).
