IIS logs

I am learning Splunk and playing with different log types. So far I have exported the CSV files and played around. I have some IIS logs (in txt format) that I want to mess with. Is there a way to import these to Splunk enterprise? I want to import the text files I have and play with logs create some searches and do more. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

If your IIS logs are getting stored on a Specific location/path on a system you can try installing a UF and perform "file and folder monitoring to that location/path.
