Hi All,
I am a newbie,
I am looking for a script that can capture logs based on a request id and store it in tmp folder
Log files looks like this"

- 2015-07-08 10:59:17,100 INFO RequestId -> 923559008 Inside test method
- 2015-07-08 10:59:17,100 INFO RequestId -> 923559008 End of some test method method
- 2015-07-08 10:59:17,100 INFO RequestId -> 923559008 test test"

Trying to capture using Request id and request changes randomly, so it has to be a variable where i can set the value of the id and capture the logs in particular location.
Would really appreaciate your help

Please post what you have already tried and what the problems are, if you dont know where to start just google for BASH script examples/tutorials, there are hundreds out there, also grab a copy of the advanced bash scripting guide, it may be in your distros repos, dont panic it has basic stuff as well.

Code:

 - 2015-07-08 10:59:17,100 INFO   RequestId -> 923559008 Inside test method
 - 2015-07-08 10:59:17,100 INFO   RequestId -> 923559008 End of some test method method
 - 2015-07-08 10:59:17,100 INFO   RequestId -> 923559008 test test"

Looks to me like it already being processed by (r)Syslog.
