usage()

API Stability Preview

The usage() GraphQL query returns usage statistics.

Related somewhat to this query field is the queryQuotaUsage() query to get query quota usage for a specific user.

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

Syntax

graphql
usage: UsageStats!

There is no input for this query field. For the results, thought, you can specify that you want the current usage measurements and limits for ingest, storage, scanned data and users, as well as other information. See the Returned Datatype section further down this page for more.

Example

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

Raw
graphql
query {
  usage
  {firstUsageTimeStamp,
   repositoriesIngest(month: 10, year: 2024) {__typename} 
   repositoriesStorage(month: 10, year: 2024) {__typename} 
  }
}
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 {

  {firstUsageTimeStamp,
   repositoriesIngest(month: 10, year: 2024) {__typename} 
   repositoriesStorage(month: 10, year: 2024) {__typename} 
  }
}"
}
EOF
Mac OS or Linux (curl) One-line
shell
curl -v -X POST $YOUR_LOGSCALE_URL/graphql \

}
EOF
