Query Explanation

The rule computes the 5‑minute per‑second receive rate of each network interface (rate(node_network_receive_bytes_total[5m])), divides it by the interface's declared speed (node_network_speed_bytes), and checks if the resulting utilization exceeds 0.80 (80%). The alert triggers when any host has a network interface whose inbound traffic is above 80% of its configured capacity.
