in what way does in not work? Do you have incomplete output, incorrect output, no output or error messages?
What is your logic for doing this if you did it as a human? Humans recognise dates/times in records, but you might have to:-
Read a line
Get the date part from the line
Convert to seconds
Compare against current date (also in seconds)
Display the output if the difference is less than 900 seconds
It's not pretty I agree and I can see what you are trying to do, but I'm not sure that awk can do that (happy to be corrected though)
I suppose another way would be to generate all the possible matches for the date/time you need (only 900 of them) in a file and use:-
Code:
grep -f ref-file test.log
I notice from your input (now that I've put it in CODE tags for you) that there are leading spaces on some lines. That might be a little awkward, but not insurmountable.
Would either of these approaches help? If you can be more explicit in your needs, then maybe we can help a little more.
So I got this old webapp doing some strange format with its logging and I need to extract only specific parts.
Basically the format of the log goes:
Date:<space>timestamp
User:<space>userid
AppID:<space>applicationid
Duration:<space>time(ms)

Hi , I am having a script which will start a process and appends the process related logs to a log file. The log file writes logs with every line starting with date in the format of: date +"%Y %b %d %H:%M:%S".

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
The command converts a sequence of login/logoff records read from its standard input to a sequence of records, one per login session. Its
input should normally be redirected from or Its output is ASCII, giving device, user ID, login name, prime connect time (seconds), non-
prime connect time (seconds), session starting time (numeric), and starting date and time. Prime connect time is defined as the connect
time within a specific prime period on a non-holiday weekday (Monday through Friday). The starting and ending time of the prime period and
the year's holidays are defined in file
expects as input a sequence of login session records, produced by and converts them into total accounting records (see format in acct(4)).
combines the functionality of and into one program. It takes the same input format as and writes the same output as
recognizes the following options:
Print input only, showing line name, login name,
and time (in both numeric and date/time formats).
maintains a list of lines on which users are logged in.
When it reaches the end of its input, it emits a session record for each line that still appears to be active. It
normally assumes that its input is a current file, so that it uses the current time as the ending time for each ses-
sion still in progress. The flag causes it to use, instead, the last time found in its input, thus ensuring reason-
able and repeatable numbers for non-current files.
and recognize the following options:
file is created to contain a summary of line usage showing line name, number of minutes used, percentage of total elapsed
time used, number of sessions charged, number of logins, and number of logoffs. This file helps track line usage,
identify bad lines, and find software and hardware oddities. Hang-up, termination of (see login(1)), and termination
of the login shell each generate logoff records, so that the number of logoffs is often three to four times the num-
ber of sessions. See init(1M) and utmp(4).
file is filled with an overall record for the accounting period, giving starting time, ending time, number of reboots, and
number of date changes.
When this option is used, the records of the type found in
are read from the specified input.

The line usage report is confused by date changes. Use (see fwtmp(1M)) to correct this situation.
