How are you trying to search for it? Perhaps the best way to check would be to do a search for source=*FILENAME.CSV (case sensitive) over all time - this will show if it has been indexed or not, it could be that its assigned a timestamp based on a value within the CSV and stuck it somewhere in the past.

It should also be showing on the Search app summary page, is any data showing here? Its possible that it hasn't indexed it correctly, in which case we will have to start looking elsewhere..

As I said above, you need to use source=*FILENAME.CSV (case sensitive). Also, you didn't mention what you can see in the summary view on the search app?

Hi Mate,
My file name which i selected name was Call_Details.csv, i have given as source=call_details.csv but nothing displayed. But when i selected it showed successfully indexed, dont know where the prob is..
Else my scenario is to continously monitor a particular directory or file.. what steps i need to follow and my OS is Windows.. Do i need to update anything in inputs.conf file..?

Could you give us some more info? such as your inputs... are you putting it into a new index? By default Splunk will only search the default (main) index so you need to add it to your role or to the search string to find the data.
When posting a question try to give as much information as possible, we can't see your setup so, "its not being displayed" doesn't give us much to go on 🙂
