how can i create a query to find out usage of dashboard

[Learner]

I need a query that will give the count of views of dashboard, number of queries executed by dashboard, time taken by queries, count of executions by user.

Hi @Learner,

if you search in Community answers, you'll find all the searches you need.

Anyway, did you explored the Dashboard Monitoring App (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/3350/) maybe it could solve parte or your needs?

Will it be possible to solve this problem without using Dashboard Monitoring App

Hi @Learner,

You don't need to use it, but you can find the searches for your need and use it outside the app.

So e.g. for the dashboard in time you can use a search like this (this one or something similar):

index="_internal"  source=*access.log user!="-" */app/*
| rex field=referer "/en-US/app/(?<app>[^/]+)/(?<dashboard>[^?/\s]+)" 
| search dashboard!="job_management" dashboard!="dbinfo" dashboard!="*en-US" dashboard!="search" dashboard!="home" dashboard!="alerts" dashboard!="alert" dashboard!="dashboards" dashboard!="reports" dashboard!="report" 
| timechart span=1h dc(dashboard)

e.g. to have the top 10 used dashboards, you can use something similar to this:

index="_internal"  source=*access.log user!="-" */app/*
| rex field=referer "/en-US/app/(?<app>[^/]+)/(?<dashboard>[^?/\s]+)" 
| search dashboard!="job_management" dashboard!="dbinfo" dashboard!="*en-US" dashboard!="search" dashboard!="home" dashboard!="alerts" dashboard!="alert" dashboard!="dashboards" dashboard!="reports" dashboard!="report" 
| top 10 dashboard

 this kind of dashboard are very useful to understand how to do a thing for your need not to be used as they are.

Ciao.
