Is there a way to count the number of dashboard views per day or per hour for a particular dashboard?

Hello Splunkers,

Just checking to see if there is a way to count the number views per day or per hour for a particular dashboard. I am trying to track the amount of use or visibility each dashboard has in the enterprise.

Thanks!

You can use the data from splunkd_access.log and get those metrics

source="*splunkd_access.log" "*/ui/views/*" | rex "\/ui\/views\/(?.*?)\?" | stats count by dashboard

Would be wise to add
index="_internal"

Also, this search returns both GET and POST events for all dashboards. In my opinion you should only count POST events for dashboards.
