How to grep (say)last-3 and next-3 lines of Desired Pattern
Hi All,
OS-Type=Sun-OS 5.8 Sparc9 Processor
Can I grep the previous 4 lines and next 4 lines of a matched pattern(context grep)?
For example here we need to monitor logs of live traffic.The data obtained from "tail -f LiveTrafficData.log"
looks something like this:-
----------------------------
Sender-ip=10.123.32.34 //Useful Info
Junk Parameter=blah
Blah Parameter=more blah
Packet-state=start //Useful Info
Policy-type=test-value-policy //Useful Info
Some more blah
blah blah
user-profile-type=host
user-location=njs-234 //Useful Info
....
...
Similar sort of repetitive data
-------------------------------
Now here the lines which are of concern to me are only policy-type,packet-state,service-ip and user-location,
i.e., I need to ascertain sender-ip and user-location only and only when Policy-type=<desired pattern> AND
Packet-state=<desired pattern2>.
Also note it is from live traffic, so we need to work on "tail -f" of whatever log we are getting,i.e. we need to work on Standard Input and not file.
Any help is welcome.
Thanks and Regards.
P.S:-I went through the internet,but I dont have "grep -A num" or "vmsgrep" or "cgrep".
Also,as it is fresh and accumulating log,so I probably cant store in a file, ie I need to work on Standard Input,not file

ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)
NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
