Grafana dashboard: Node Exporter - USE Method / Node
Description: The USE Method / Node Dashboard for the Prometheus Node Exporter

### USE Method / Node

This dashboard includes panels for the following metrics. To learn more about USE (Utilization, Saturation, and Errors) metrics, please see [The USE Method](http://www.brendangregg.com/usemethod.html):

- CPU Utilization
- CPU Saturation (Load per CPU)
- Memory Utilisation
- Memory Saturation (Major Page Faults)
- Net Utilization (Bytes Receive/Transmit)
- Net Saturation (Drops Receive/Transmit)
- Disk I/O Utilization
- Disk I/O Saturation 

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)
