How to use streamstats to calculate device availability

I have some device logs and am trying to determine the outage (downtime) duration. 
Problem I have here is that events are being constantly thrown and I have difficulty capturing the right one to determine the downtime

            FIRSTOCCURRENCE                LASTOCCURRENCE                         SUMMARY
1          2016-10-12 16:11:17              2016-10-12 16:11:17               Interface Down:                              
3          2016-11-06 01:59:14              2016-11-06 01:59:14               Interface Down:              
4          2016-11-06 01:59:14              2016-11-06 01:59:14               Interface Down:               
5          2016-11-06 02:00:01              2016-11-06 02:00:01               Interface Up:     
6          2016-11-06 02:00:01              2016-11-06 02:00:01               Interface Up:     
7         2016-11-08 00:56:09               2016-11-08 00:56:09               Interface Down:               
8         2016-11-08 00:56:09               2016-11-08 00:56:09               Interface Down:  
10         2016-11-08 00:56:09               2016-11-08 00:56:09               Interface Down: 
11         2016-11-08 00:56:55               2016-11-08 00:56:55               Interface Up: 
12         2016-11-08 00:56:55               2016-11-08 00:56:55               Interface Up: 
13         2016-11-08 01:05:55               2016-11-08 01:05:55               Interface Up: 

Difference between The FIRSTOCCURRENCE of the First "Interface Down" and the FIRSTOCCURRENCE of the First "Interface up" is the Total Outage Hours
According to the Example above  :  outage 1 (2016-10-12 16:11:17 - 2016-11-06 02:00:01)  outage 2 (2016-11-08 00:56:09  - 2016-11-08 00:56:55) 

Currently am using transaction command. But it takes the whole outage as outage hours i.e. outage_hours is 2016-10-12 16:11:17 - 2016-11-08 01:05:55

basic search | transaction HOSTNAME, startswith=(SUMMARY="Interface Down:") endswith=(SUMMARY="Interface Up:") keeporphans=true keepevicted=true maxspan=28d

Any suggestions is appreciated !

any chance you can adjust the logs to also add the name of the actual interface as a field? You could then try "| transaction hostname interface startswith..."
