splunk

I have made my ubuntu server a centralized log server...I have splunk installed in the /opt directory of the ubuntu server.

I have one of the another machines sending logs to this ubuntu server..In the splunk interface i have added in the network ports as UDP port 514...and also have added in the "file and directory" /var/log.

The client has also been configured properly...How do I show analysis of the logs??
