If your version of nawk supports mktime() then this is the simple case:
If mktime() isn't supported (likely won't be), then coding a function to convert a date stamp to seconds past epoch isn't difficult. The function assumes that the date has been adjusted to convert local time to zulu, but for subtracting dates from the same log this shouldn't be necessary.
This could likely be optimised a bit, but I'm tired and it should work.
You can adjust the printf() statement to output exactly what you need. Right now it should produce the same as before with the difference between start and end times in minutes.
Hope this helps.

Not sure what identifies the API, but assuming it's something like getRackInfo, then you could do it this way:
filling in "......." with the awk programme that you want to use.
There are other ways to do it from within the awk, but this is the most straight forward.
