Google cloud load balancer monitoring dashboard provides number of healthy nodes: enter image description here

Is it any metric / MQL which can be used to create an alert if one node considered as down?

There is no direct metric for the Load Balancer's backends, but what you can do is to create a Monitoring group containing them, and then set up an Uptime check for monitoring and alerting; you can follow these steps to accomplish that:

  1. Tag all the backend instances:
gcloud compute instances add-tags <instance_name> --tags=lb-backend --zone <instance_zone>

  1. Create the monitoring group using Resource Type = gce_instance AND the tag as discriminators: enter image description here

  2. Create the Uptime check and alerting policy for that group: enter image description here
