@Ravinder, I am unsure how this supposed to work?
The OP is looking for a way to get a daily count of log occurrences in a rotating set of log files into a new log file.
  • What you propose has the date fixed in both the search string and the print result. So should he create a new script every day?
  • The closing braces in the FNR==1 section do not align with the if statements, which is confusing.
  • I do not get why you need to close files when there are 5 max.
  • Also, he appears to not be looking in which file exactly the data occurred, but how many times, so I do not see why a total needs to be printed per file, so why not only create an END section?
  • Also the END section is missing, if there are contents are in the last file, then their total will not get printed.
  • Why do you also include the filename in the result?


--

@OP:
  • a solution like that will only work if the rotation frequency is less then 5 per day, so maybe a solution should test for this?
  • You want the result for 2018, I assume that is a typo?
  • The date format change is that really necessary, or can it be any date format?
  • The script would need to only record or discover the differences with the last time it was run to avoid double or missing entries in the statistics log..

NAME

       script - make record of a terminal session

SYNOPSIS

       script [-a] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       The  script  utility  makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
       record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.

       The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
       when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.

OPTIONS

       The following option is supported:

       -a    Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.

NOTES

       script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

WARNINGS

       script  can  pose  a  security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
       privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
