Here is a Merlin specific solution using a user created script, I hope it works for others
This requires having a wan-event file I do believe to trigger the wan-event messages in the log... Im not sure how else to capture the wan up/down in the log
I had a function for something similar, I scratched this together to take advantage of the idea from

My results
Code:
MavMAIN|>/jffs/scripts| sh wantime.sh
Last wan-event connected event found : Mar 13 03:00:05 custom_script: Running /jffs/scripts/wan-event (args: 0 connected)
WAN uptime since last connected event : 7 day(s) 17 hr(s) 24 min(s) 12 sec(s)
Lines 5,6 and 7 might be better off with these instead if you dont use a wan-event script already.... just a guess, maybe someone else can suggest something else to search for when wan goes up
Code:
findlast=$(cat /tmp/syslog.log | grep "wan: finish adding multi routes" | tail -n1)
[ -z "$findlast" ] && findlast=$(cat /tmp/syslog.log-1 | grep "wan: finish adding multi routes" | tail -n1) # check older logs if not found prior
[ -z "$findlast" ] && printf "Couldn't find last wan event in logs... exiting. \n" && exit 0 # nothing to calculate... exit
