How can I generate usage metrics for grafana Dashboards

Is there a way I can monitor the time user sessions keep active for dashboards?

I would like to measure the dashboards usages to compare it before and after improvements in a given dashboard. Is it possible?

Hi, @brunofl,

This could be done via Google Analytics. You could integrate GA with your Grafana server using the config file by inserting your GA ID.

Finally, you could head over to GA to view dashboard usage since those are essentially unique URLs, provided the Grafana organization is the same. You could also filter by variable names found in the dashboard URL, or view links between dashboards or to external domains.

Thanks @rameshanirudh95, this is an excellent idea I have not considered yet.
