pd-observer

Python module that updates a Slack chat room topic with the current on-call for a pagerduty schedule.

This module is based on pd-oncall-chat-topic by the nice folks at Pagerduty. If you have access to run lambda I'd advice you to use their project.

Small changes apply to this particular code:

• We use the /oncalls endpoint of the pagerduty v2 API
• We assume that each user will update their names in pagerduty match their slack handle

Requirements

1. Obtain a Slack API token from a Bot Directions Here
2. Obtain a PagerDuty API Key (v2) Directions Here
3. Get the unique ID of the Slack channel which you want to manage the topic (Not the name)
4. Get the unique ID of the Pagerduty schedule that you want to monitor (Not the name)
