Beacon API peer_count call always returns 0

[tdahar]

While using the beacon API to get some data from the client, always peer_count call returns 0

curl localhost:9596/eth/v1/node/peer_count
{"data":{"disconnected":0,"connecting":0,"connected":0,"disconnecting":0}}

It would be expected to receive the current amount of peers in each state
curl localhost:9596/eth/v1/node/peer_count
{"data":{"disconnected":10,"connecting":9,"connected":30,"disconnecting":2}}

Running Lodestar with Docker, version 0.34.0

Thanks for reporting this. The /eth/v1/node/peer_count endpoint is yet to be implemented. This is why it always returns 0. Once priorities allows, it would be implemented.

In the meantime, maybe you can check /eth/v1/node/peers? if it can be used as a workaround?

We should definitely implement this endpoint, sounds easy and aligns us with the api standard
