+# PagerDuty output plugin
+
+This plugin is used to send PagerDuty alerts based on a metric field.
+
+Following is an example of send PagerDuty alerts based on "time_iowait" field
+of the "cpu" metric. It will send PagerDyty alert any time the "time_iowait"
+value is more than 50
+
+```toml
+[[outputs.pagerduty]]
+  service_key = "<SERVICE KEY>"
+  metric = "cpu"
+  description = "Check CPU"
+  field = "time_iowait"
+  expression = "> 50.0"
+```
