@richgalloway has the best answer to this (DMC). The answer from @dbcase is correct if you want to see your total license usage, but it is not split by indexer. Is there something in particular you are trying to determine at the indexer level?

Here is the query I use

index=_internal source="*license_usage.log" type=RolloverSummary | timechart span=1d sum(b) AS DailyVolume | eval DailyVolume=round(DailyVolume/1024/1024/1024,2) | eval License="5"|rename DailyVolume as "Daily Usage"

Change the eval License="5" to whatever your license number is

The Distributed Management Console (DMC) will show license usage by index for the last 30 days. Click Settings->Distributed Management Console then click Indexing->License Usage->License Usage - Past 30 days. Select "By Indexer" from the Split By drop-down.
Convert KB to GB by dividing by 1024.

I need to check on the license utilization of different indexers which are in bytes and to convert it to GB for the past 30 days.

If you can provide me with the query then it would help!!!

I still say the DMC is the better approach, but this query may also help.

index=_internal source=*license* | stats sum(b) as Bytes by splunk_server | eval GB=Bytes/1024/1024/1024 | table splunk_server GB

Also be aware that there are different types of events in the license_usage.log. RolloverSummary is the one you want to use to determine overall volume.
