Description

I would like to know if we can add a env variable as DURATION, REPLICA and SHARD_GRP_DURATION for the retention policy. I am currently using K8s with plain influxdb image and grafana. Its not simple to provide the retention policy as of now.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by inspecting the Docker image's existing environment-variable handling and retention-policy entry point; confirm how DURATION, REPLICA, and SHARD_GRP_DURATION are passed from a Kubernetes deployment. Done means those variables configure the InfluxDB retention policy without manual setup.
