I wanted to send payloads out to an alt broker if my primary failed. This is what I did. This function has an single input and 3 outputs. Input accepts any normal topic/payload combination and passes it to output 2 or output 3 depending on the status. Status is set by an input payload of 'safe' or 'fail'. On deploy it is 'fail' by default. If status is 'fail' all topic/payload combinations are passed to output 3. If a payload of 'safe' is received, all topic/payload combinations are passed to output 2. Additionally, every time an input of 'safe' or 'fail' arrives, it is passed only to output 1. The included flow is also setup as an example. Have fun.
