💅 LIGHTNING-DELNETWORKEVENT 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to lightning-delnetworkevent, aka the lightning-delnetworkevent(7) manual page — the tiny little RPC that sweeps one (1) network event out of your life 🧹✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

delnetworkevent — the command that deletes one single entry from listnetworkevents. that's it. that's the whole job. lowkey iconic for how simple it is 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

delnetworkevent created_index

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

fr fr, this command was added in v25.12. remember that 👑

The delnetworkevent RPC command removes a single event from listnetworkevents, and it does it by using the uniquely-identifying created_index 🌟 like a little name tag for the entry, except the name tag is a number, and the entry is a database row, and you're deleting it 💀

This command is mainly used by the autoclean plugin (peep lightningd-config(7) for the config tea ☕). The way the whole thing works: these database entries are only kept for your own analysis — so removing them has no effect on the running of your node. none. zero. nada. your node literally does not care 🙈✨ (which honestly? main character energy of the database. it's giving "I'm just here for the vibes")

  • created_index (u64) — the unique created_index of the entry. yes bestie, that's the one. that's the whole argument 🫶

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

on success you get back an empty object. that's it. 🎁 no data, no drama, just an empty lil {} and a job well done 💅

💀 ERRORS 💀

sometimes life says no. here's what can go wrong:

  • 1402 — the listnetworkevents specified does not exist. 🥲 you tried to delete a thing that isn't there, bestie. it happens to the best of us.
