This topic describes how to retrieve app and service instance usage information using Apps Manager. 

You can also retrieve app and service instance usage information using the Usage service API, or the [Cloud Foundry API](http://apidocs.cloudfoundry.org/) from the Cloud Foundry Command Line Interface (cf CLI). For more information, see the [Monitoring App, Task, and Service Instance Usage](../opsguide/accounting-report.html) topic.

There are two ways to monitor app and service instance usage from Apps Manager. The Accounting Report provides a summarized report, and the Usage Report provides a more detailed view of the data.

The Accounting Report displays instance usage information for all orgs in your [Pivotal Cloud Foundry](https://network.pivotal.io/products/pivotal-cf) (PCF) deployment except the **system** org. The Accounting Report provides a high-level overview of your usage by displaying your monthly count of app, task, and service instances.

Follow the steps below to access the Accounting Report.

1. [Log into the Apps Manager](../customizing/console-login.html) as an admin.

1. From the left navigation of Apps Manager, select **Accounting Report**.

2. Under **App Statistics** and **Service Usage**, view the average and maximum instances in use per month.
	<br><br>
	**Max Concurrent** displays the largest number of instances in use at a time over the indicated time period. The Accounting Report calculates these values from the `start`, `stop`, and `scale` app usage events in Cloud Controller.

1. From the dropdown on the left, select the org for which you want to view a usage report. 

1. Next to the org **QUOTA**, click **Usage Report**.
