Node-RED app no longer connecting to MongoDB service
I am getting these errors in my log file and my Node-RED app has quit working. If there is no MongoDB call in my flow - Node-RED works properly. Here is the Node-RED log file output.

I checked the connection information of my mongoDB service and it does indeed match the IP and port number in the error messages found in the log. When I tried to "unbind" the service to my Node-RED app in hopes of "re-binding" it - it failed to unbind.
Any thoughts?
Hi, there are some issues with the mongo service at the moment - I'll forward this on to see what's happening.
This is still not working - and sadly my Node-RED environment has been down all day. I'm not sure where to turn at this point - any suggestions?
Hi Mark, many mongodb instances were failed to startup since June 14; We plan to do a restart for them on tomorrow morning; Let's see whether that will bring your service up.
By the way, the mongodb service in Bluemix is experimental; it can be used in dev and test but not for production. If you want a robust nosql database, cloudant and mongolab is the choice.
Hi Shao Feng Shi - I ended up creating a new instance of Node-RED with a bound MongoDB service - that got me out of the problem.
I would love to use Cloudant - at this point there isn't a "node" available in Node-RED for Cloudant - only MongoDB. It would be great if someone created a Cloudant node - that would be very helpful!
Glad it got resolved Mark.
There is a cloudant node in the works (technically, a CouchDB node) - should be available soon.
Hi Mark and Knolleary, thanks for the suggestion and the update; Have fun with Bluemix!
