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: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.2.4/Search/GetstartedwithSearch then enjoy the visualizations and dashboard: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.2.4/Viz/CreateDashboards
plenty of reading, lots of fun
you can practice also with the search tutorial, it covers plenty of the above with hands on work: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/7.2.3/SearchTutorial/WelcometotheSearchTutorial
hope it helps
