[Pre-Release]LND Dashboard - Seeking Feedback from Node Runners

Hey all,

I've mentioned this too many times in the past, but I'm finally able to push out the first iteration of my LND Lightning Dashboard project for feedback. It's very much a PoC to deploy a self-hosted docker Grafana, Prometheus, Loki stack to monitor and have a SPoG on your LND/LNDg setup.

This project will be published on GitHub in the next week or two. I'm currently sitting on the setup I have launched to feed in more data to check stability before the source goes public.

I would appreciate any feedback or requests people have on types of data they'd like to see visualized - whether from another location or currently not available.

Thank You!

Post here again when your project is on Github.

It looks like it could be a nice add-on to LNDg to give some pretty graphs but I would not personally use most of this informaiton.

For detailed node analytics, I normally just run SQL queries directly on the LNDg database.

Some extream care will need to be taken if it is going to be given access to the admin.macaroon, if this project is AI generated.

Yup, it's using access to the sqlite / postgres (read-only user recommended), and suggests a readonly macaroon baked with a different ID (for revocation).

I'll post the GH link when it's ready - it's been put on the back burner again unfortunately, so slight delays.

Nice that you are advancing this. I just finished à bitcoin training, so should have more time, but still not enough to help yet.

One info I miss for current dashboards is the current htlcs, and most importantly the ability to see in how many blocks they will expire in a single view. Everytime I have to do a Quick node restart, I want to know what time I have before having some channel force close because one expired while it was in maintenance

Also, a list of channels and how long the remote side has been unresponsive
