Is there any way that I can track the amount of user time that is spent on kibana? Even indirectly through events or actions?

If this is possible to be stored in elasticsearch and navigated through kibana, then even better.

Hi @Michael\_Tsikerdeki,

I think that GitHub issue [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/52125](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/52125) is tracking the progress for the work we have in the loop so we can support that need in the future.

Having that said, maybe it could be possible to use APM to do something like this for now.

@vigneshshanmugam Do you think something like this could be possible?

Apologies for the delay, Missed the thread.

@tiagocosta Not as of now since APM RUM agent does not track session length by default. But we are working on the proposal for session management which would help here [https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-rum-js/issues/634](https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-rum-js/issues/634)

Thanks,  
Vignesh
