Are you running node_exporter in Docker?

No

from mixin, there are USE dashboard using node_cpu_utilisation metric, but this version did not give it. WHY :(

[beorn7]

To be more precise: The dashboard uses instance:node_cpu_utilisation:rate1m rather than node_cpu_utilisation.

instance:node_cpu_utilisation:rate1m is a recording rule, not a metric coming directly from node_exporter. The rules file that defines that rule is also part of the node-mixin. If you just run make in github.com/prometheus/node_exporter/docs/node-mixin, you'll see a file node_rules.yaml generated. This file has to be used by your Prometheus server as a rules file, and then things will work.

Thanks. This needs a wiki

Not sure if it needs a wiki but could get documented in the mixin docs dir.
