Using transaction like Ayn suggests; you'll get multivalued fields. Assuming that you have a field called 'status' which in your case contains either 'error' or 'ok', you could do (after the transaction)

| eval err = mvfilter(match(status, "error")) |  eval err_count = mvcount(err)

If all the events in the transaction contains status=error, you could use the eventcount field that is created by the transaction. Perhaps subtract 1 from the eventcount, if the 'READY TO ACTIVATE' event does not contain 'error'.

Without sample events, it is a lot harder to give you good advice.
