Theres quite a lot of it... but summarizing:
<timestamp> checkStatus SUCCESS [
many lines of varied text
]
All other lines of the log will not match the above, and will be of the form:
<timestamp> <some other call> .......[
]
I successfully matched this pattern, but it matches every entry - and there are a few hundred in the current log. I have piped them all to a file, but still extracting the last match is a problem...
What I am trying to extract is the most recent match of the pattern - so that nearest the base of the file.

I have sort of achieved what I need...
tail -n500 <myLog>.log | sed -n '/^.*checkStatus SUCCESS/,/]/ p'
This gives me the output I want, but has two limitations:
If the entry, for whatever reason, does not appear in the arbitrarily chosen last 500 lines of the log, then no match is returned
If it appears twice, then it is returned twice...
