Bluemix Application Freeboard on Node-RED not Saving

I've created a bluemix application that is using Node-RED to process my IoT sensors and I'm trying to use Freeboard as a dashboard. Only problem is the "Save Freeboard" button does nothing.

Any insight on how to fix this?

Solution

  • Where does Freeboard save it's data to? Is it backed by the filesystem or a database?

    I'm not sure if Bluemix apps can save things to the "local" filesystem (and if it did it would not survive a app restart) and needs to use a database to store data.

    Node-RED uses a CloudantDB instance to store flows and credentials.
