Check this path in Indexer's filesystem:

 

/opt/splunk/var/lib/splunk/<any_index>/db

The index  data lives on the Splunk indexer Server's . You typically  use a Splunk Universal Forwarder or Heavy forwarder or some other means to send data to the Indexers and they get stored into a bucket(folder). 

So login to your Splunk indexers and go to the storage volume and see the data there.  See the table  section "What the index directories look like" this will show you the paths

Great!

Thanks for your help, i had checked the article, but each bucket consist of raw data and tsidx file only.

i am asking after the raw data is parsed and normalized, should they stored in somewhere in the parsed form.
