+# Usage Operator HTTP API
+
+The `/operator/usage` endpoint returns usage information about the number of
+services, service instances and Connect-enabled service instances by datacenter.
+
+| Method | Path              | Produces           |
+| ------ | ----------------- | ------------------ |
+| `GET`  | `/operator/usage` | `application/json` |
+
+The table below shows this endpoint's support for
+[blocking queries](/consul/api-docs/features/blocking),
+[consistency modes](/consul/api-docs/features/consistency),
+[agent caching](/consul/api-docs/features/caching), and
+[required ACLs](/consul/api-docs/api-structure#authentication).
+
+| Blocking Queries | Consistency Modes | Agent Caching | ACL Required    |
+| ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------- | --------------- |
+| `YES`            | `all`             | `none`        | `operator:read` |
+
+The corresponding CLI command is [`consul operator usage instances`](/consul/commands/operator/usage).
+
+### Query Parameters
+
+- `global` `(bool: false)` - If present, usage information for all
+  known datacenters will be returned. By default, only the local datacenter's
+  usage information is returned.
+
+- `stale` `(bool: false)` - If the cluster does not currently have a leader, an
+  error will be returned. You can use the `?stale` query parameter to read the
+  Raft configuration from any of the Consul servers.
+
+### Sample Request
+
+```shell-session
+$ curl \
+    http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/operator/usage
+```

+Command: `consul operator usage`
+
+The Usage `operator` command provides cluster-level tools for Consul operators
+to view usage information, such as service and service instance counts.

+Corresponding HTTP API Endpoint: [\[GET\] /v1/operator/usage](/consul/api-docs/operator/usage#operator-usage)
+
+This command retrieves usage information about the number of services registered in a given
+datacenter. By default, the datacenter of the local agent is queried.
+
+The table below shows this command's [required ACLs](/consul/api-docs/api-structure#authentication). Configuration of
+[blocking queries](/consul/api-docs/features/blocking) and [agent caching](/consul/api-docs/features/caching)
+are not supported from commands, but may be from the corresponding HTTP endpoint.
