How can we get the user metrics and their usage?  
I would like to know how many users are accessing/hitting my dashboards on the elk cloud.  
I'm using the Platinum package on the elastic cloud.

Please advise

Have you enabled audit logging ? You can enable auditing to keep track of security-related events such as authorization success and failures. You just need to set `xpack.security.audit.enabled` as True in your Kibana.yml file. That is all. The kibana audit logs will be in the same location.

Audit logging uses the standard Kibana logging output, which can be configured in the `kibana.yml`

Thanks

There are some different elasticsearch audit logs as well, which are enabled differently and log in a different location.
