Is there a way to get the metrics for dashboard usage ?

What kind of metrics are you looking for? Search performance? Frequency of user access? Something else entirely?

Here's a search I use to analyze which pages are being hit on the splunk web server. I'm not 100% sure that what your looking for though.

index=_internal sourcetype="splunk_web_access" "GET /en-US/app/" status=200 
| rex field=uri "/app/(?<app>[\w_]+)/(?<view_name>[\w._-]+)[/? ]"
| replace "report_builder_*" with "report_builder" in view_name
| stats count, dc(clientip) as clients, min(_time) as first_hit, max(_time) as last_hit by app,view_name
| convert ctime(*_hit)
| sort -count,app,view_name

Note that I have "en-US" hard coded in there. I forget why exactly, I think it gave me a performance boost and everyone around here only speaks English, so it isn't a big deal.

Yes. I am looking for frequency of user access in this case.

If you want, you can use the following search in order to find dashboards being clicked and belonging apps, and by which user.

index="_internal" user!="-" sourcetype=splunkd_ui_access

| rex field=uri "/app/(?[^/]+)/(?[^?/\s]+)"
| search dashboard!="search" dashboard!="home" dashboard!="alert" dashboard!="lookup_edit" dashboard!="@go" dashboard!="data_lab" dashboard!="dataset" dashboard!="datasets" dashboard!="alerts" dashboard!="dashboards" dashboard!="reports" dashboard!="report"
| stats values(user) AS user count AS hits BY app dashboard
| join type=left dashboard
[ | rest /servicesNS/-/-/data/ui/views
| search isDashboard=1 isVisible=1 disabled=0
| table title eai:appName eai:acl.sharing
| rename title AS dashboard eai:appName AS app eai:acl.sharing AS appSharing]
| table app dashboard appSharing user hits
| sort 0 app
