SharePoint 2013: WSS_UsageApplication proxy stopped

WSS_UsageApplication proxy stopped

I noticed that the service application proxy to the usage application was in status "Stopped".  Run the following PowerShell commands to start the UsageApplication Proxy again:

PS> $sap = Get-SPServiceApplicationProxy | where-object {$_.TypeName -eq “Usage and Health Data Collection Proxy”}
PS> $sap.Provision()
