Creating a way to track error counts from logger

Configuration
1

Is there a way where I can create a way (i.e. sensor) that tracks the amount of errors that show up in the logs? Similar to the Watchman reporting tool that shows the volume of issues with entities (i.e. unavailable…).

I have defined a counter

counter:
    sys_log_counter:
      restore: false

And an automation that manages the counter based in events:

  - id: sys_log_counter
    alias: sys_log_counter
    mode: queued
    trigger:
      - platform: event
        event_type: system_log_event
        event_data:
          level: WARNING
      - platform: event
        event_type: system_log_event
        event_data:
          level: ERROR
      - platform: event
        event_type: call_service
        event_data:
          domain: system_log
          service: clear
    action:
      - choose:
          - conditions: "{{ trigger.event.event_type == 'system_log_event' }}"
            sequence:
              - service: counter.increment
                target:
                  entity_id: counter.sys_log_counter
          - conditions: "{{ trigger.event.event_type == 'call_service' }}"
            sequence:
              - service: counter.reset
                target:
                  entity_id: counter.sys_log_counter
