I've created this PR that adds a guided card and this Fullstory dashboard (internal) that tracks the goals above.

@gbamparop have you looked into what it requires to make the goal tracking part of the existing guided onboarding telemetry? so we can track this alongside the other options in the setup guides view?

The metrics in the dashboard above are very similar to the ones in guided onboarding which was focused on v8.4 and v8.5. Are you aware of any other dashboards?

[formgeist]

@gbamparop I'll check with the guided onboarding group whether they just export the FullStory data or rely on some other telemetry to create their onboarding reports within Tableau.

Hey @formgeist - did you get any feedback from the guided onboarding group? is there anything we need to get into one of the BCs in FF to enable this telemetry?

[formgeist]

No, it's based on the existing data-test-subj attribute that was already added to the PR by @gbamparop - I think we should be good to analyze once released in the FullStory dashboard and in Tableau which the Kibana Analytics team would ensure happens.

[formgeist]

There's a telemetry team ticket created for tracking the work around making the guided onboarding reporting include Synthetics card and creation flow completion as part of the conversation of the card which have been made available in the setup guides list.

The data doesn't currently exist in Tableau so kibana reports have been created by Elvin HERE
