+Usage:

+ "${0}" start|stop PORT [BACKEND_HOST BACKEND_PORT]
+
+ PORT The port this script will listen
+ (configure netdata to use this as a second backend)
+
+ BACKEND_HOST The real backend host
+ BACKEND_PORT The real backend port
+
+ This script can act as fallback backend for netdata.
+ It will receive metrics from netdata, save them to
+ ${FILE}
+ and once netdata reconnects to the real-backend, this script
+ will push all metrics collected to the real-backend too and
+ wait for a failure to happen again.
+
+ Only one netdata can connect to this script at a time.
+ If you need fallback for multiple netdata, run this script
+ multiple times with different ports.
+
+ You can run me in the background with this:
+
+ screen -d -m "${0}" start PORT [BACKEND_HOST BACKEND_PORT]
