Plugin: New notification type, forward_event
`forward_event` A notification for topic `forward_event` is sent every time the status of a forward payment is set. The json format is same as the API `listforwards`. ```json { "forward_event": { "payment_hash": "f5a6a059a25d1e329d9b094aeeec8c2191ca037d3f5b0662e21ae850debe8ea2", "in_channel": "103x2x1", "out_channel": "103x1x1", "in_msatoshi": 100001001, "in_msat": "100001001msat", "out_msatoshi": 100000000, "out_msat": "100000000msat", "fee": 1001, "fee_msat": "1001msat", "status": "settled", "received_time": 1560696342.368, "resolved_time": 1560696342.556 } } ``` or ```json { "forward_event": { "payment_hash": "ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff", "in_channel": "103x2x1", "out_channel": "110x1x0", "in_msatoshi": 100001001, "in_msat": "100001001msat", "out_msatoshi": 100000000, "out_msat": "100000000msat", "fee": 1001, "fee_msat": "1001msat", "status": "local_failed", "failcode": 16392, "failreason": "WIRE_PERMANENT_CHANNEL_FAILURE", "received_time": 1560696343.052 } } ``` - The status includes `offered`, `settled`, `failed` and `local_failed`, and they are all string type in json. - When the forward payment is valid for us, we'll set `offered` and send the forward payment to next hop to resolve; - When the payment forwarded by us gets paid eventually, the forward payment will change the status from `offered` to `settled`; - If payment fails locally(like failing to resolve locally) or the corresponding htlc with next hop fails(like htlc timeout), we will set the status as `local_failed`. `local_failed` may be set before setting `offered` or after setting `offered`. In fact, from the time we receive the htlc of the previous hop, all we can know the cause of the failure is treated as `local_failed`. `local_failed` only occuors locally or happens in the htlc between us and next hop; - If `local_failed` is set before `offered`, this means we just received htlc from the previous hop and haven't generate htlc for next hop. In this case, the json of `forward_event` sets the fields of `out_msatoshi`, `out_msat`,`fee` and `out_channel` as 0; - Note: In fact, for this case we may be not sure if this incoming htlc represents a pay to us or a payment we need to forward. We just simply treat all incoming failed to resolve as `local_failed`. - Only in `local_failed` case, json includes `failcode` and `failreason` fields; - `failed` means the payment forwarded by us fails in the latter hops, and the failure isn't related to us, so we aren't accessed to the fail reason. `failed` must be set after `offered`. - `failed` case doesn't include `failcode` and `failreason` fields; - `received_time` means when we received the htlc of this payment from the previous peer. It will be contained into all status case; - `resolved_time` means when the htlc of this payment between us and the next peer was resolved. The resolved result may success or fail, so only `settled` and `failed` case contain `resolved_time`; - The `failcode` and `failreason` are defined in [BOLT 4][bolt4-failure-codes].
