I user JMeter 3.2 and Java 1.8.0_144

1. run following command on your influx DB
   SHOW RETENTION POLICIES ON your_db_name
2. use name of RETENTION POLICIES from request result in the retentionPolicy parameter in Jmeter Backend Listener.
   ps. In my case it looked in Jmeter like: retentionPolicy default
