I have some deployment logs on unix machine. I copy these logs and put it on my machine where splunk is installed. How can I read these logs using Splunk?

You will want to review the Tutorial. There is a lot of good information and can get you started in the right direction.

In a very quick nutshell, you need to start splunk, add the data (logs) to splunk, and then search the logs.
