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

### To use this dashboard, please follow [Grafana Agent Docs](https://github.com/grafana/agent/blob/main/docs/getting-started.md) to monitor your Linux nodes by setting up Node Exporter integration for Grafana Agent 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 is adapted from the original [Node Exporter Quickstart](https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/13978?pg=dashboards&plcmt=featured-sub1). It uses the job=integrations/node_exporter selector to query metrics.
