PeppolStatus Tools (51)

list_hosts

List monitored hosts Every monitored host with its current verdict, latest hourly all-locations latency and 24h uptime, worst-first, plus a network-wide rollup.

get_host

Get a host's current state Current role, verdict, network attribution (IPs/PTR), TLS certificate and operating provider for a host. `?at=` returns point-in-time state.

list_host_incidents

List a host's incidents Incidents for one host, newest-first, cursor-paginated.

get_host_uptime

Get a host's uptime aggregates The aggregate ladder for a host at a chosen resolution, per-location plus the `__all__` rollup, optionally windowed by `[from, to)`, cursor-paginated.

list_host_software

List all hosts' software (Market) Every host with open software fingerprint rows, one row per (hostname, role) with the vendor / version / hosting axes folded in (value, tier, first-seen; plus vendor `variant` and version `kind`). The evidence blob is omitted to keep the list lean — it stays on the per-host resource. Cursor-paginated on the stable (hostname, role) order; optional `vendor=` filter. Market tier.
