grep '2019-03-19T09:3[6-9]' /var/log/syslog

Because you said your timestamp is 2019-03-19T09:37:19. I suggest you do:

1. Press CTRL + ALT + T.

2. Run the command (-E for extended regex):

   sudo grep -E '2019-03-19T09:3[6-9]' <file or file_path>

To be direct, the above command could be (if run immediately after CTRL + ALT + T or another path):

sudo grep -E '2019-03-19T09:3[6-9]' /var/log/syslog

Or (if in /log/ folder already...):

sudo grep -E '2019-03-19T09:3[6-9]' syslog

I hope that's clear enough to help!
