# Policy Decision Service Availability gauge

The `Policy Decision Service Availability` gauge monitors the ability of the Policy Decision Service to respond to requests using the configured policies.

If the Policy Decision Service is misconfigured, or the configured deployment package store is not reachable, PingAuthorize can't handle requests for the following services:

* API Security Gateway

* Sideband API

* SCIM 2

* Authorization Policy Decision APIs

In this case, this gauge marks the status of PingAuthorize as DEGRADED.

Possible causes of the Policy Decision Service being unavailable include:

* The `pdp-mode` is set to `disabled`

* The `trust-framework-version` is set to `undefined`

* The configured deployment package store can't be reached
