The following command "cat /dev/log" returns:
> cat: /dev/log: No such device or address

Do I need to configure something else for syslog?

Thanks Tired that.
I don't see service start fail messages. However, even with the latest date, syslog doesn't show any logs from my applications. However, journalctl is showing the logs after a latest date update.

source s_src { unix-dgram("/dev/log"); internal();
             file("/proc/kmsg" program_override("kernel"));
};

I think you need to add /dev/log to unix-dgram.

source s_src { unix-dgram("/dev/log"); 
internal();
