Getting "HTTP status 400 Bad Request: snappy: corrupt input" when attempting remote read

[Promu 9332]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to use the remote read function. I have a very simple config where I added the following to the default config:

remote_read:
  - url: http://remote-prometheus-server-address:9090/api/v1/read
    read_recent: true

All I am trying to do is running a simple metric query on the expression browser. When I run the same query directly on the expression browser pointing to the remote server, it works fine. When I run the query with expression browser pointing to the server configured to do the remote read, I get:

remote_read: remote server http://remote-prometheus-server-address:9090/api/v1/read returned HTTP status 400 Bad Request: snappy: corrupt input

Any ideas what I might be missing?

Thanks!
