API Stability Short-Term

The queryQuotaUsage() GraphQL query returns the query quota usage for a particular user.

Regarding query quotas, you may also find useful the queryQuotaUserSettings() to get quota settings for a user. Also, there is the queryQuotaDefaultSettings() to get the query quota default settings, the exceededQueryQuotas() query to see if a user exceeded the quotas, as well as the resetQuota() mutation to set quotas or to reset them to the default.

For more information on query quotas, see the Query Quotas documentation page.

Syntax

graphql
queryQuotaUsage(
     username: string!
   ): [QueryQuotaUsage]!

There's only one input, the username. You'll need to enter that. For the results, you can request the query count, as well as static and live costs. See the Returned Datatypes section for more details on these and other parameters.

Example

Below is an example of how this query field might be used:

Raw
graphql
query {
  queryQuotaUsage(
  username: "bob@company.com"
  ) {interval, staticCost, liveCost, queryCount}
}
Mac OS or Linux (curl)
shell
curl -v -X POST $YOUR_LOGSCALE_URL/graphql \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d @- << EOF
{"query" : "query {
  queryQuotaUsage(
  username: \"bob@company.com\"
  ) {interval, staticCost, liveCost, queryCount}
}"
}
EOF
Mac OS or Linux (curl) One-line
shell
curl -v -X POST $YOUR_LOGSCALE_URL/graphql \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d @- << EOF
{"query" : "query {
  queryQuotaUsage(
  username: \"bob@company.com\"
  ) {interval, staticCost, liveCost, queryCount}
}"
}
EOF
Windows Cmd and curl
shell
curl -v -X POST $YOUR_LOGSCALE_URL/graphql ^

    -d @'{"query" : "query { ^

  ) {interval, staticCost, liveCost, queryCount} ^
}" ^
} '
Windows Powershell and curl
