Customer wants to be able to make changes to PMM settings using the documented api below while using PMM 3.1:

The setting in question is the data_retention, which has the following documented:

data_retention string

A number of full days for Prometheus and QAN data retention. Should have a suffix in JSON: 2592000s, 43200m, 720h.

When we try to issue the api call following the above pattern ("data_retention": "240h"), it fails with the following:

It appears the only acceptable format is seconds, so we have to convert the number of hours as such and this makes the call work: "data_retention": "864000s"

Would it be possible to allow an user to use hours or days, instead of having to convert them to seconds?
