In Splunk : search for "index=_internal" - This will give you all internal Splunk logs on your instance(s).

Alternatively, and old school, you can look in the $splunk_home$|/opt/splunk/var/log/splunk/ folder and grep through the logs.

This "logs" you're talking about, are they the one to check the state and errors in your Splunk instance? Or are they something else?
