What happened?

Description

Unable to export span metrics using prometheusremotewrite when batch processor enabled.
Agetns -> Gateway(OtelCollectors) -> Storage.
Gateway contains multiple servers which calculates the spanmetrics and writes to the Prometheus using PRW.

Steps to Reproduce

enable spanmetrics with prometheus remotewrite

Expected Result

Prometheus Remote Write should able to export the metrics when batch processor is enabled

Actual Result

It is giving "Permanent Error"; "Duplicate Sample For timestamp"; " Permanent error remote write returned status code of 400 bad request""

Collector version

v0.96.0

I would guess that the problem here is that your multiple collectors running in gateway mode are submitting the same samples to prometheus.
between the default list of

service.name
span.name
span.kind
status.code

and your dimensions list of

http.method
http.status_code
k8s.namespace.name

I would guess that these do not uniquely identify series. Is each collector receiving traces from the same machines? If not the exact same machines, would each collector be receiving traces from containers that run the same service in the same k8s namespace?

I would also guess that this is also the problem in 32043

Hi, @ramanjaneyagupta Is the problem still exist? Have you tried to add a unique identity to your metrics?
