Shell script newbie- how to generate service log from shell script

Hi,

I am totally a newbie to any programming languages and I just started an entry level job in an IT company. One of my recent tasks is to create a script that is able to show the log file of linux service (i.e. ntpd service)
lets say, if I run my script ./test.sh, the output should be similar to :
Code:
2019-02-26 09:15:00 +1100,Success,ntpd,restart,Service Successfully Restart

I dont know if I didnt get the right requirement or something, I found a lot of scripts online but none of them worked for my case. One thing that I don't understand is, do I firstly need to have an existing .log file that has all the ntpd service history? I check var/log/ntpstats but there is no log files.

I would really appreciate if anyone could give me some ideas, if you need any clarifications please let me know.

Thanks very much

xiao
