"Now...my question is....Do I need to go into Chronograf and set up a different database for every Sensor that I want to Log? "
If you are using the signalk - influxdb plug in then you just need to tell the plugin the address of influx, usually same as the screenshot in post 3. That's it, then the plugin will create the database if it doesn't exist and write the measurements, so in chronograf/grafana you will see , say, database - "tempDb", measurements - "environment.wind.speedApparent" etc.
Then to set up grafana you go into configuration/datasources and fill in the address of influxdb and the database name

After that all the saved measurements should appear in the dropdown box >
