Hi, I have checked out the Storage module. Can anyone help me out if there are any samples of storing flows into postgresql or mongoDB? I have seen - https://nodered.org/docs/api/storage/methods/#storagesaveflowsflows Thanks!

Yes. I want to store flows into database.

I have found a mongodb plugin but can't seem to understand how to store the flows into the database.

Well you first have to get the flow file. This could be tricky if you don't have the flow file name set in settings.js because Node-RED uses flows_<hostname>.json as the default flows file.
