What type of information are you looking for? What does your data look like?

Searches are pretty basic - figure out what you want to look for, save it and set up an alert.

Taking a look at http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/latest/User/AboutSearch and http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/latest/User/MonitoringRecurringSituations for some more information..
