Hi,  
Is there a way to track Kibana dashboard usage (i.e. number of times a particular user opens a dashboard)?

I want to know the customers who is actively using the dashboard.

You'd need to use something like Packetbeat to listen to the requests and then store them in Elasticsearch. There's nothing in Elasticsearch that will do this natively.

Without Packetbeat is there any other way to view the data
