NAME

       carbon-cache - accepts metrics over various protocols and writes them to disk

SYNOPSYS

       carbon-cache [options] start

DESCRIPTION

       carbon-cache accepts metrics over various protocols and writes them to disk as efficiently
       as possible. This requires caching metric values in RAM as they are received, and flushing
       them to disk on an interval using the underlying whisper library.

       The options are described below.
