A count finds the number of unread events in the event log. You can specify the event types to return, 
or return the count for all events. 
This command reports the number of events that have occurred since the command was last sent or 
since the event log was last cleared. 
Events are read automatically when localnode.showevents is enabled. You can also read them 
individually with eventlog.next().
