title: Monitor percentage of CPU and memory in GKE nodes
body: <p>I would like to use Stackdriver monitoring to watch for my GKE nodes' CPU/mem % usage.</p>
  
  <p>However, when going through the Stackdriver Monitoring UI, there does not seem to be any such option available (meaning in terms of percentage).</p>
  
  <p>On the other hand there seem to be for example 2 extremely similar metrics (their description is <strong>identical</strong>) for (what appears to be) absolute mem usage. (screenshots attached).</p>
  
  <p>Is anyone aware how one can provide for percentage of memory and CPU used on GKE nodes? (not containers)</p>
