No logs are written to /var/log
I have a problem, that no logs are written to /var/log.
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 6.4M May 21 2014 syslog
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 5.7M May 21 2014 daemon.log
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 494K May 21 2014 auth.log
But date and time is configured properly
Tue Apr 28 19:38:56 CEST 2015
It seems that I made a dist-upgrade 21 May of 2014. And since then I have no logs written. My system is Ubuntu 14.04 (no GUI). It has been running for 132 days without reboot.
Other log files like MySQL or nginx are up to date. Only system logs don't work.
I hope you can help me.

Ok, I found solution somewhere else:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall rsyslog
It seems rsyslog was removed itself at some point.

Could try this in case something's mis-configured with rsyslog, at least before trying a full reinstall:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure rsyslog
