What is more interesting to measure is your gains. Every other metric can be gamed. Afaik circular payments add to both routed sats and fees, for instance.
Gains as in my fees earned?

No. Increments in outgoing liquidity (plus on-chain funds) - assuming that you do not add/remove funds yourself. Your earned fees may actually increase at the same time as your outgoing liquidity decreases. This situation may arise during circular payments, for instance - perhaps depending on implementation and circular payment method. I've run a lightning node for some time, and while I have accumulated fees I definitely operate it at a loss. My motivation for running it is however not to be profitable (in sat terms).

ok, what do you use to measure increments in outgoing liquidity? Is that shown somewhere in Thunderhub, or somewhere else?
