as already asked renjith.nair, Splunk always gives a timestamp to every log, you cannot have logs without timestamp.

I assume that you are using Splunk to create reports on non-event data probably from a DB (we sometimes used Splunk to do this).
In this case you have to know the period in which you ingested the data and use this time in the timerange to use in the the search.
After this you have to create a normal search like

index=my_index | top 10 host

Sorry but what you mean by events without date? Splunk assigns timestamp while it index data even though you haven't provide any timestamp. Could you please provide an example ?
