Hello. I'm a new ELK Stack user. And my project requires me to track who is accessing my kibana dashboard, and how long they are using the kibana (kibana utilization). Is there anyway to track those?  
The closest thing I could get so far is using metric beat and track the number of elasticsearch data usage.  
Disclaimer : I am using Kibana 7.6.2 with basic license.  
Thanks for the help and sorry for my bad english.

Welcome to our community! 😃

We don't have anything specific at this stage. You could have Packetbeat listen to 5601 and build something from that.
