Notes

The logType parameter is case-insensitive
Only dates that have at least one log entry are returned
The Count value represents the number of XML child elements in the log file for that date
Use the returned LogDate values as the logDate parameter when calling GetLogs to retrieve the actual log entries
If no log files exist for the specified log type, an empty <Statistics> element is returned
