Code:
#!/bin/bash

to=`date +"<%b%_d, %Y,%l:%M:%S,%3N %p %Z>"`
let from_in_seconds=`date +%s`-5000
from=`date -d @$from_in_seconds +"<%b%_d, %Y,%l:%M:%S,%3N %p %Z>"`
awk '$0>=from && $0<=to' from="$from" to="$to" file.log

Below string matches the date format that I have it in logs but awk not working

Code:
$date +"<%b%_d, %Y,%l:%M:%S,%3N %p %Z>"

below string provide the dates past 30 minutes but while using it in awk it won;t work.

Code:
date --date='30 minutes ago' -u '+%b%_d, %Y, %T,%3N %p %Z'

yes, <data> keep logging from the application regularly day and night in ascending order. Although, I am least concerned about the avoiding the date format (2019-02-12T12:26:59.842+0000: 45.152) but would like to have lines pulled when string matches that are from last 30 minutes only which has below date format.

NAME
grep - search a file for lines containing a given pattern SYNOPSIS
grep [-elnsv] pattern [file] ... OPTIONS
-e -e pattern is the same as pattern -c Print a count of lines matched -i Ignore case -l Print file names, no lines -n Print line numbers -s Status only, no printed output -v Select lines that do not match EXAMPLES
grep mouse file # Find lines in file containing mouse grep [0-9] file # Print lines containing a digit DESCRIPTION
Grep searches one or more files (by default, stdin) and selects out all the lines that match the pattern. All the regular expressions accepted by ed and mined are allowed. In addition, + can be used instead of * to mean 1 or more occurrences, ? can be used to mean 0 or 1 occurrences, and | can be used between two regular expressions to mean either one of them. Parentheses can be used for grouping. If a match is found, exit status 0 is returned. If no match is found, exit status 1 is returned. If an error is detected, exit status 2 is returned. SEE ALSO
cgrep(1), fgrep(1), sed(1), awk(9). GREP(1)
