Compare the public Lightning graph observed by two LND nodes
Two sites can have different views of the announced network. Aggregate graph statistics provide a quick comparison before exporting individual channel announcements.
Snapshot both nodes on the same network
Run this query against each instance within a short interval and record the sample time. Capture channel and node counts along with total capacity in satoshis.
lncli getnetworkinfo | jq '{num_nodes, num_channels, total_network_capacity, max_out_degree}'
Investigate divergent samples
If one view contains substantially fewer channels, first check that both nodes use the same Bitcoin network and report graph synchronization. Next inspect specific announcements present on one side. These are locally observed topology statistics. They cannot measure private liquidity or the exact amount deliverable end to end.
