Dear elastic Team,

With recent release of kibana we noticed that there is a Dashboard views option.

we can create our own dashboard on views per dashboard? However i could never find the source index for the dashboard views.

Thanks,  
Shiny

Hi Shiny,

At the moment there isn't a full implementation available to access an index with view metrics or analytics, but it's something that [we're working on.](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/81130)

In the meanwhile, you can for example run this command in dev tools:

```auto
GET kbn:/api/saved_objects/_find?type=usage-counter&filter=usage-counter.attributes.domainId:"dashboard"%20and%20usage-counter.attributes.counterType:"viewed"&per_page=10000 

```

This should give you the views over the last 90 days per dashboard ID.

From here you could try to build your own script to get the updated metrics from this API call and aggregate them into an index/dashboard. Here's a quick python example of just reading the json response in an easier way:

```auto
for dashboard in response.json()["saved_objects"]:
    print("Dashboard {id} viewd {count} times.".format(id = dashboard["attributes"]["counterName"], count = dashboard["attributes"]["count"]))

```

Thanks lulia. Appreciate taking time to answer my question.
