Knowing how your log file are named and where they are located might provide a better means of getting a list of files to process than manually creating a file containing 2500 pathnames).

Knowing what operating system and shell you're using might help us determine whether or not the operating system you're using has tools to perform these kinds of specialized searches built-in.

Knowing the format of your log files and how you are able to determine whether or not they contain indications that an error occurred will be crucial to determine what kind of processing needs to be performed to achieve your goal.

Samples of log files and the output you hope to produce from those samples would be a huge help if you want suggestions on how to process your log files.

Without basic information like those things listed above, we can make lots of wild guesses that might not be of any help at all.
