Well there are many options, then it depends of your architecture as unix command argument may differ, so for a start you should tell on what OS you are dealing with and the shell you use only we are not going to do the work for you as you will learn nothing, as all the people I know except a very few, we tend to be lazy and look for the most obvious and easy way out:
For that it means to see the content of that log directory as if there are only 2 files of the day why should we bother using the command find (IMHO I am guilty if others dont agree
) as for a newbie that command seems to have an obscure and complicated syntax, then see how many .gz files we have...
How would you do that?

znew
ZNEW(1) BSD General Commands Manual ZNEW(1) NAME
znew -- convert compressed files to gzipped files SYNOPSIS
znew [-ftv9K] file ... DESCRIPTION
The znew utility uncompresses files compressed by compress(1) and recompresses them with gzip(1). The options are as follows: -f Overwrite existing '.gz' files. Unless this option is specified, znew refuses to overwrite existing files. -t Test integrity of the gzipped file before deleting the original file. If the integrity check fails, the original '.Z' file is not removed. -v Print a report specifying the achieved compression ratios. -9 Use the -9 mode of gzip(1), achieving better compression at the cost of slower execution. -K Keep the original '.Z' file if it uses less disk blocks than the gzipped one. A disk block is 1024 bytes. SEE ALSO
gzip(1) CAVEATS
The znew utility tries to maintain the file mode of the original file. If the original file is not writable, it is not able to do that and znew will print a warning. BSD
