In GCP , I can able to view GKE Monitoring dashboard. How to create alerts for CPU and memory Utilization for Kubernetes Container

I have enabled Default GCP Monitoring in my Google Kubernetes Cluster. So GKE Dashboard is created which contains System Metrics. Now I need to enable alert for Kubernetes container's CPU and memory Utilization from GKE dashboard. I tried to create own alert, but it didn't match with metrics defined in GKE dashboard.

This is a Guide1 and Guide2 for monitoring the Kubernetes engine. In it, you can know about alerting and how to monitor your system. In case you were already familiar, here is a list of the metrics for the new Kubernetes engine in comparison to the previous metrics. Additionally, the complete list of metrics, which are always useful, can be found here.

In Monitoring dashboard, dashboard displays CPU and Memory utilization in time range:

CPU utilization: The CPU utilization of containers that can be attributed to a resource within the selected time span. The metric used is here check with For CPU Utilization

Memory utilization: The memory utilization of containers that can be attributed to a resource within the selected time span. The metric used is here check with For Memory Utilization

The command "kubectl top node" displays resource (CPU/Memory/Storage) usage at that moment, not time span.
