# Is Peppol down?

Here is the live answer. PeppolStatus independently monitors around 930 Peppol
access points, SMPs and the SML registry, rechecking every few minutes. The
interactive HTML page at
[/is-peppol-down/](https://peppolstatus.com/is-peppol-down/) shows the current
verdict for the whole monitored network — direct measurement, not crowd-sourced
reports.

## What "Peppol down" actually means

Peppol is not one server, so it is rarely all down at once. A send usually fails
at one layer:

- **SML / SMK (the registry)** — the network's DNS-based address book. Unreachable
  lookups are the rare network-wide case. API: [`GET /v1/sml`](https://api.peppolstatus.com/v1/sml).
- **SMP (a participant's metadata)** — one provider's Service Metadata Publisher
  being down affects only the participants it hosts.
- **Access Point (an operator)** — if your access point or the recipient's is down
  or has an expired certificate, delivery fails for that operator's users only.
- **The endpoint (the recipient's system)** — the receiving software can reject a
  document even when every network layer is up.

## How to check if Peppol is down

- **Network overview** — monitored hosts with current verdicts (up / degraded /
  down), open incidents and recent anomalies. API: [`GET /v1/network`](https://api.peppolstatus.com/v1/network).
- **Your access point** — find your host in the [host list](https://app.peppolstatus.com/hosts)
  to see its verdict, latency and uptime.
- **A participant** — confirm a recipient resolves on the network with the
  [participant check](https://peppolstatus.com/participant/).

## Is there an official Peppol status page?

No. OpenPeppol AISBL governs the network and runs a service desk for incidents but
publishes no live, network-wide status page (status.peppol.org is not an active
monitor). PeppolStatus fills that gap with independent, multi-region measurement.

Open-data monitoring of the Peppol network. All figures are fetched live from the
public read-only API. No accounts, no tracking.
