Thank you. So how do I prevent Prometheus from  relaying the same data. 
Should it not stop relaying the same data to sysdig once it has sent it 
successfully? I have the retention time in my remote_write set to 5 
minutes. So my assumption was, post this retention time Prometheus should 
not send me old data. Please let me know if I am missing some configuration.
