@punpun26262626: Welcome to the forum.
It is usually well received in here if you put some more effort into formulating the spec than "Now please advise". What OS / shell / tools versions do you use? What thoughts / logics lead to the desired result? Any attempts from your side on the solution?

@sadique.manzar: nice idea, with three drawbacks:
- the patterns will match more than "last 5 minutes", e.g. the day(s) before, or matching "min:sec" values (in above: /07:40/), or any other similar data.
- the key word "Exception" is requested.
- no "command substitution" for the final sed command.

Combining the two proposals this far we come up with
Code:
$ e="\("
$ DL=
$ for (( i = 5; i >= 0; i-- )) ; do  e=$(date +"$e$DL%dT%R:" -d "-$i min"); DL="\|"; done
$ e=$e"\).*[Ee]xception"
$ grep $e file

NAME
scanlogs - summarize INN log files. SYNOPSIS
scanlogs [ norotate ] DESCRIPTION
Scanlogs summarizes the information recorded in the INN log files (see newslog(5)). By default, it also rotates and cleans out the logs. It is normally invoked by the news.daily(8) script. KEYWORDS
The following keywords are accepted: norotate Using this keyword disables the rotating and cleaning aspect of the log processing: the logs files are only scanned for information and no contents are altered. If scanlogs is invoked more than once a day, the ``norotate'' keyword should be used to prevent premature log cleaning. HISTORY
