I've been reading up on the Lightning Network, and I read that you can earn routing fees by having users relay LN transactions through your node. What I'd like to know is this:

How can I determine if someone decided to relay through my node? Through incoming connections?
Are open channels imperative to earning routing fees? If so, how many are optimal?

I'm aware that I might earn only a handful of satoshi, but I'm interested in new experiences and technologies.

Just run lncli feereport

If your are not moving the amounts in your channels that should indicate how much you have earned.
But at this time people have channels with subsatoshis or zero fees. I have had my nodes running for 3 months and no one has routed through me (or not that I know of).

If there is a better solution like a line on the logs, please tell me
