Query for checking on failed dashboard loads

I'd like to know if there's a way to get alerted if a dashboard is not performing as expected for a user. How do i query for list of all reports that are throwing errors in a dashboard? Is that possible?

One of the things that you can do is look for searches that end in a Finalized state instead of a Done state. That is what happens when a search (loading a dashboard panel or otherwise) is terminated due to system constraints and the data returned is truncated (without any notification of such).

Try exploring _internal logs

For reference on dashboard load error, try exploring below-mentioned Query

index=_internal source=*/web_access.log* status=4* | stats count by status

@to4kawa - Im interested in knowing if theres an internal log that will help me track down when a dashboard does not load up properly. For example, if the dashboard has reports with errors (for whatever reason - improper regex, an artifact is not available or is not loading up, user has met search or disk quota, etc..)

Is it possible to determine error rate or info by dashboard / report?
