How to create a SharePoint Usage and Health Data Collection Service Application through PowerShell

Usage and Health Data Collection Service Application collects Data about Usage and Health of your farm. This information is used for Health Monitoring and this is also required for running the Web Analytics Service. If you do not have a Usage and Health Data Collection Service Application or your Usage and Health Data Collection Proxy is stopped, you will not see any data in the Web Analytics Report.

You cannot create Usage and Health Data Collection Service Application from Central Admnistration.
You have to use PowerShell for this :

New-SPUsageApplication -Name “UsageAppName” -DatabaseServer “DBServerName” -DatabaseName “DBName”

$Usage = Get-SPServiceApplicationProxy | where {$_.TypeName -eq “Usage and Health Data Collection Proxy”}

$Usage.provision()
