Description
User asked for instruction on how to set up data retention for a bucket:
https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.2/reference/internals/data-retention/#bucket-retention-period
When you set up a bucket, you need to set up a retention period - so not sure if user actually tried to do this or was just reading about it.

Perhaps adding a link to the following doc would help:
https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.2/organizations/buckets/create-bucket/
