Environment

I run Prometheus with configured remote read and wright to influxdb 1.4

• System information:

Ubuntu 16.04.03
Linux 4.4.0-93-generic x86_64

• Prometheus version:

prometheus, version 1.8.0 (branch: HEAD, revision: 3569eef)
build user: root@bd4857492255

• Prometheus configuration file:

# my global config
global:
  scrape_interval:     60s # By default, scrape targets every 15 seconds.
  evaluation_interval: 30s # By default, scrape targets every 15 seconds.
  scrape_timeout: 10s
  # scrape_timeout is set to the global default (10s).

  # Attach these labels to any time series or alerts when communicating with
  # external systems (federation, remote storage, Alertmanager).

# Load and evaluate rules in this file every 'evaluation_interval' seconds.

# A scrape configuration containing exactly one endpoint to scrape:
# Here it's Prometheus itself.
scrape_configs:

  # The job name is added as a label `job=<job_name>` to any timeseries scraped from this config.
  # Auto-discovery via consul tags by Registrator
  - job_name: 'federate_lr_metrics_node'
    scrape_interval: 30s

# Remote write configuration (for Graphite, OpenTSDB, or InfluxDB).
remote_write:

# Remote read configuration (for InfluxDB only at the moment).
remote_read:

Confirming this is the case, as observed in the InfluxDB logs:

[I] 2017-11-21T23:39:53Z SELECT value FROM prometheus.rp_1s_for_1h.container_cpu_user_seconds_total WHERE (...)

Only rp_1s_for_1h is queried, to which remote storage adapter ships the metrics to.
