Routing view

Routing view displays screenful of latest routing events. This information is not persisted in LND so the view always starts empty and is lost once you exit lntop.

The events are in one of four states:

active - HTLC pending
settled - preimage revealed, HTLC removed
failed - payment failed at a downstream node
linkfail - payment failed at this node

Docker

If you prefer to run lntop from a docker container, cd docker and follow README there.
