I have made Dashboard using node-RED which shows the list of incoming and outgoing messages. We are using mongoDB node to store incoming and outgoing messages.

The Problem here is the limitation of BSON-document type storing specification which can't store data with size greater than 16 MB in mongoDB.

I have gone through some articles which suggest in this case I need to use GridFS storing type specification it can store data with size greater than 16 MB as well in mongoDB.

So can you please let me know how to configure mongoDB node so that it can store any sized data.
