--storage.tsdb.retention.time prometheus syntax

[Rodolphe Ghio]

Hi everyone,

I was looking for an explanation about the syntax of the flag but I didn't find anything, I would have liked to know the syntax to put a retention in months and minutes because I know that for the years it's "y" and for the days it's "d". Would anyone know the possible syntax? or it's just not possible ?

Kind regards,
Ghio Rodolphe
