Just had a play on a win10 laptop. Entering a new database name in the siganlk plugin config created a new database in influx

That was all that was required for siganlk to write to influxdb, the data was then available to view in grafana. You could check influx is running OK by pasting this into a terminal >
sudo systemctl status influxd
Also in a terminal, you should get into influx by typing "influx"
Then "show databases" to see what databases exist. Then "quit" to get back out of influx to the command line.
