Getting Data In

After indexing logs in Splunk, where can I find the specific path where it is stored?

I have a server which transfers logs to the Splunk server, but I don't know where it is stored in Splunk. Can someone guide me how to find it?

The files are stored in an index under SPLUNK_HOME/var/lib/splunk/[indexName]

But they are not human readable, they're stored in a proprietary format.

To find them "inside of Splunk" you need to open search and type "index=IndexName" where indexName is the index you put them into when you added the data (inputs.conf) usually has this specified.
