Thanks for your valuable time,
But the solution shown below is not working properly although the same command is working when I replace the tail -f with the less command.

tail -f /opt/olr-logs/PaymentGateway.log | grep "DEBUG - Start!
PaymentGatewayFactory - getPaymentGateway" | awk -F "," '{print $7}'

As vgersh99 said, the grep is not needed; awk can do it. tail -f is ok to watch a log file concurrently:

Code:
echo '[2009-02-13 15:34:53,768] DEBUG - Start! PaymentGatewayFactory - getPaymentGateway (2, 100.00,Mohit Aggarwal,1942, 1,123.50.162.248, , 9821934958)' |\
awk -F, '/DEBUG - Start! PaymentGatewayFactory - getPaymentGateway/ {print $7}'
123.50.162.248

If your awk is annoying you:
If you are on Solaris use /usr/xpg4/bin/awk. Else you might check if you have gawk or nawk.

And no need for less.
