Node runners…I’ve just noticed all my channels are off line, but my node is up and running. Anyone know what might have happened? First time I’ve had this occur. I assumed my node was down, but it’s not.

Internet connection down?
I don’t think so. I’m connected via tail scales and BTC core is still logging blocks. May restart lightning? It shows it’s running. I’m on Umbrel
You connection probably dropped off earlier. Restart your node should work
Thanks, running the log report now and then was going to restart my node. Hoping that’s all that is wrong. 🤞🏻
Yea restart would be my next step once verifying that the internet connection to the node is active.
Running LND? Try `lncli getinfo` and look to see if `synced_to_chain` and `synced_to_graph` are both `true`.
Yes running LND but I’m away from my node at the moment. I confirm that BTC Core is connected and synced. Could one be in sync and not the other?
It’s possible. The fix for this case would be to just restart lnd.
Another thing that’s happened to me before is the channel.db file got too big for my node to handle. In my case it was somewhere around 2GB. To fix this, enable `db.bolt.auto-compact=true` in lnd.conf and restart.
Looking at my network logs, two things happened this morning. Looks like my isp may have gone down for a minute,but also my router had an update. I’ve checked to make sure Tor access wasn’t turned off since update and confirmed it’s good and BTC core is syncing. It says LND is running currently. So you think I should restart LND to see if that fixes?
If BTC Core is currently syncing, LND should figure itself out once that completes without a restart.
whenever this has happened to me it was because my node wasn't synced and I had to restart it to fix
