Grafana dashboard: Node Exporter Quickstart and Dashboard
Description: A quickstart to setup Prometheus Node Exporter with preconfigured dashboards, alerting rules, and recording rules.

### To use this dashboard, please use the following [Node Exporter Quickstart](https://grafana.com/oss/prometheus/exporters/node-exporter) to monitor your Linux nodes by setting up Prometheus Node Exporter with preconfigured dashboards, alerting rules, and recording rules.

*****************************************************
This dashboard includes panels for the following metrics:

- CPU Usage
- Load Average
- Memory Usage
- Disk I/O 
- Disk Usage
- Network Received
- Network Transmitted

This dashboard was generated using the Node-exporter [mixin](https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter/tree/master/docs/node-mixin). It uses the `job=node` selector to query metrics. If you need to use a different `job` selector, modify the selector in [config.libsonnet](https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter/blob/master/docs/node-mixin/config.libsonnet) and regenerate the dashboard following the instructions in the mixin repository.

You need to import several Prometheus recording rules before using this dashboard. To learn more, please see the [Node Exporter guide](https://grafana.com/oss/prometheus/exporters/node-exporter)
