Hi Ram,

You can use the Event Logs to monitor a range of event types(https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.198.0.api.meta/api/sforce_api_objects_eventlogfile.htm#event-types), including:

Asynchronous Report Run(https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.198.0.api.meta/api/sforce_api_objects_eventlogfile.htm#async-report):
"Asynchronous Report Run events are created for reporting requests that are scheduled. This category includes dashboard refreshes, asynchronous reports, schedule reports, and analytics snapshots."


Content Distribution(https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.198.0.api.meta/api/sforce_api_objects_eventlogfile.htm#content-distribution):
"Content Distribution events contain information about content distributions and deliveries to users."


Content Transfer:(https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.198.0.api.meta/api/sforce_api_objects_eventlogfile.htm#content-transfer)
Content Transfer events contain information about content transfer events, such as downloads, uploads, and previews.


Document Attachment Downloads(https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.198.0.api.meta/api/sforce_api_objects_eventlogfile.htm#document-attachment-downloads)
Document Attachment Downloads events contain details of document and attachment downloads.


Report(https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.198.0.api.meta/api/sforce_api_objects_eventlogfile.htm#report):
Report events contain information about what happened when a user ran a report.


Report Export(https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.198.0.api.meta/api/sforce_api_objects_eventlogfile.htm#report-export):
Report Export events contain details about reports that a user exported.


UI Tracking(https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.198.0.api.meta/api/sforce_api_objects_eventlogfile.htm#ui-tracking):
UI Tracking events contain details about user interactions wit the mobile UI.


URI(https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.198.0.api.meta/api/sforce_api_objects_eventlogfile.htm#uri-event):
URI events contain details about user interaction with the web browser UI.
From that shortened list I think URI, Report and Document Attachment Download will give you most of the data you want.

Note that outside of a developer edition org the Event Logs are a paid feature.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
Nagendra.
