beorn7 f350aaf87e node-mixin: Fix various straight-forward issues in the USE dashboards
- Normalize cluster memory utilisation.

- Fix missing `1m` in memory saturation.

- Have both disk-related row next to each other instead with the
  network row in between.

- Correctly render transmit network traffic as negative, using
  `seriesOverrides` and `min: null` for the y-axis.

- Make panel and row naming consistent.

- Remove legend where it would just display a single entry with
  exactly the title of the panel.

- Fix metric name in individual node CPU Saturation panel.

- Break up disk space utilisation by device in the panel for an
  individual node.

NB: All of that doesn't touch any more subtle issues captured in the
various TODOs.

Node Mixin

This is work in progress. We aim for it to become a good role model for alerts and dashboards eventually, but it is not quite there yet.

The Node Mixin is a set of configurable, reusable, and extensible alerts and dashboards based on the metrics exported by the Node Exporter. The mixin create recording and alerting rules for Prometheus and suitable dashboard descriptions for Grafana.

To use them, you need to have jsonnet (v0.13+) and jb installed. If you have a working Go development environment, it's easiest to run the following:

$ go get github.com/google/go-jsonnet/cmd/jsonnet
$ go get github.com/jsonnet-bundler/jsonnet-bundler/cmd/jb

Note: The make targets lint and fmt need the jsonnetfmt binary, which is currently not included in the Go implementation of jsonnet. For the time being, you have to install the C++ version of jsonnetfmt if you want to use make lint or make fmt.

Next, install the dependencies by running the following command in this directory:

$ jb install

You can then build the Prometheus rules files node_alerts.yaml and node_rules.yaml:

$ make node_alerts.yaml node_rules.yaml

You can also build a directory dashboard_out with the JSON dashboard files for Grafana:

$ make dashboards_out
