Hi, I basically want to logs some custom events, error exceptions on my kibana client and send them to the kibana server. What could be the possible ways in which i can achieve this ? PS: custom events include visiting a particular dashboard or something like clicking the save button. Thanks ---

If I understand correctly, you basically want to collect some analytics on Kibana usage? You'd need to write a plugin for this, but the plugin system is under heavy development and a plugin that's this deeply integrated with Kibana would probably break in the future. Unfortunately there isn't a good solution for your use case at this time. I think ideally this would be baked into core Kibana, feel free to open an enhancement request on our [github repo](https://github.com/elastic/kibana). ---

Kibana currently logs server requests and response, can't i send a request like that to the kibana server and try to handle it on kibana server ? Something like a new route to which i will send this request to and when this request comes to the server, it logs it. but where would i do this, i can't seem to understand. This is a thing I need in urgent so just trying to figure out some approaches quickly. thanks. ---

Well, you could write a plugin that adds an extension point that taps into [Hapi's request lifecycle](http://hapijs.com/api/14.2.0#request-lifecycle). But as I mentioned there's no guarentee such a plugin would work in future versions of Kibana. ---
