K8s Node Metrics / Multi Clusters (Node Exporter, Prometheus, Grafana13, 2026, EN)

About: K8s Node Metrics / Multi Clusters

• A multi-cluster node monitoring dashboard.
• Provides node-exporter metrics with multi-datasource (Prometheus) support.
• English UI.

Variables

• Datasource: select a Prometheus datasource registered in Grafana.
• Cluster: filters by the cluster Prometheus metric label
  • Set via external_labels.cluster on each Prometheus.
  • Useful when one datasource aggregates multiple clusters (Thanos / unified Prometheus).
  • Ignored if you use a separate datasource per cluster.
• Job, Interval: standard scope filters.
• [Detail] Host / Instance / NIC: filters that affect only the Resource Details section.

Use case

• We operate multiple Kubernetes clusters, with node-exporter and prometheus deployed to each cluster via the kube-prometheus-stack helm chart.
• Goal: monitor metrics from multiple clusters in a centralized environment (1 dashboard, 1 Grafana).

Recommendation

• Kiosk mode is recommended for better readability.
