Is there a plugin that comes with a prefab front-end displaying generic "usage" metrics of you Kibana instance? I'm thinking the easiest thing to do would probably be to deploy google analytics on every Kibana page. Is there an easy way to do this?

Essentially, for internal knowledge, I would like to see:

- Unique people to Kibana
- Pageviews on every Kibana dashboard
- General usage of Discover and Visualize tabs
- User flows

To answer the kind of questions like: what kind of value is Kibana (or ELK) adding to our company? What is the adoption rate? Where are people having trouble? Most popular dashboards and time spent on page?
