Splunk Search

Uploading data to Splunk Cloud instance but unable to search it in Search & Reporting

I'm attempting to follow along with a Splunk Fundamentals training which requires me to upload a few files (csv, linux_secure & a DB file) & then navigate to the Search & Reporting app to make a few queries on the data. I'm uploading the files correctly since I'm following along with the steps and it gives me successful upload prompts, note that I'm just uploading files from my computer so its very straightforward. Once I navigate to the Search & Reporting app I expect to be able to view the global stats in the "What to Search" box however in my instance I don't see that section at all. After I make a basic query it returns me with zero results.

I'm selecting "All time" when I search - please let me know what the issue is since I know it can't be anything with the installation since I'm just using a Splunk Cloud instance. Please let me know if I'm missing something since I would've assumed this a pretty straightforward exercise.

Hello,

 

Can you share the basic search? do you remember which index you use?

Regards
