Hi @sudhanshu123 ... Good that you would like to do these things and learn the stuff.

my suggestion would be... find a data set/sample logs  (pls check this post.. https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/datasets-logs/m-p/659774#M111576 )

and try to do something with that dataset. 

Just 3 months ago i did one small project myself..  Thirukkural is a collection 2 line songs in Tamil language. 

i uploaded it to Splunk and did some searching..

There are free courses on the splunk basics. Of course if you have access to an environment with some production data, it's an invaluable help (even more so if you can look at some well-made searches).

This forum has also been a great source of knowledge for me. Not only because I got answers to my questions but also because I saw what others had problems with and I tried to think how to solve them and compared to what others wrote.
