I want to capture the user's action on Kibana dashboard. User actions like the open dashboard, click on visualizations, etc.  
Is there any metric that captures user actions/events? This will help us to identify the usage of Kibana.

Hi @Ankit_Vishwakarma,  
welcome to the Community!  
Kibana collects some [telemetry data](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/telemetry-settings-kbn.html), but unfortunately it's not accessible for the users.

Here's the [github](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/81130) issue you might want to follow and upvote to give it more importance.

To add to Marta's answer, although there's no out of the box functionality, many users have been able to build their own dashboards by enabling audit logging on Kibana and ingesting the audit logs: [Audit logs | Kibana Guide [7.14] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/xpack-security-audit-logging.html)
