Splunk Indexes
When you add new data to Splunk it store it in an index

Indexes are stored here:

/opt/splunk/var/lib/splunk/

Splunk has been installed in:
/opt/splunk

To start Splunk, run the command:
/opt/splunk/bin/splunk start

To use the Splunk Web interface, point your browser at:
http://Your-SERVER:8000

SPlunk won't start after upgrade to 4.1.4
I ended up modifying the inputs.conf & indexes.conf to delete the references to splunklogger..
