Missing metadata (Help and Type) in a receiver Prometheus UI (getting its data by remote write) #13163

@yoavim86

Description

@yoavim86

What did you do?

  1. Executed Node exporter (docker)
  2. Prometheus A which collects the metrics from the node exporter and sends the data by remote write to Prometheus B (docker)
  3. Prometheus B which gets data from Prometheus A by remote write (docker)

All of them executed locally on my laptop

What did you expect to see?

When I'm observing the metrics in Prometheus B I would expect to see the metric Help and the metric Type (the node exporter metrics), as I can see in Prometheus A.

The image is from A (with the Help and Type):

What did you see instead? Under which circumstances?

I don't see the Help and the Type of the metrics in the UI of Prometheus B (the one who gets the data by remote write)
