I released the syslog-ng EPEL7 package just last week, and without 
MongoDB support:

I'm working on adding mongodb support to EPEL7 syslog-ng, but most 
likely it will take a few weeks.

If you need MongodDB support now, you should rebuild the source package 
( 
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/beta/7/SRPMS/syslog-ng-3.5.5-1.el7.src.rpm 
) with the bundled libmongo-client. This is prohibited by the Fedora / 
EPEL packaging guidelines, so for the official EPEL7 package we have to 
wait, until libmong-client arrives to EPEL7. You can use mock to build a 
source and binary rpms.

Bye,
