Hello!
I’m wondering if there’s any way to see usage statistics (pageviews, engaged users, etc) by hour to get a clearer image of when our users are interacting with our Discourse forum.
We use our installation as a discussion board for a University class and are trying to gauge when students work on class material. Getting an idea of this would help allow us to schedule office hours and help sessions for our users across many different time zones.
Is there any way to see this information via the admin panel? If not, does anyone know of a plugin that could assist us? Thank you! 🙂

see [Prometheus exporter plugin for Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/prometheus-exporter-plugin-for-discourse/72666) and you can get stats reported in grafana.

This looks very promising, thank you!
