first you will need to index the data, read here:
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.2.4/Data/Getstartedwithgettingdatain
then start and search the data:

then enjoy the visualizations and dashboard:

plenty of reading, lots of fun

you can practice also with the search tutorial, it covers plenty of the above with hands on work:
