August 1, 201510 yr When your log rotates (syslog.1) due to size, rsyslog no longer logs to /var/log/syslog. It creates the /var/log/syslog file but it remains at 0 bytes. Restarting with /etc/rc.d/rc.rsyslog restart does not fix the issue Stopping and starting rsyslog does not fix the issue I have seen this error/bug when the syslog was rotated due to filesize.

August 1, 201510 yr Author tmpfs 131072 131072 0 100% /var/log So, I guess that explains why. I would think the rotated log should be tgz'ed or something.
August 2, 201510 yr Are you using Dynamix System Statistics plugin? That seems to be the main culprit for many people. See here for fix.

August 2, 201510 yr The problem is something is filling up syslog faster than syslog can be rotated. Whatever that is, should be fixed. Can you post the huge syslog somewhere? Maybe email to me: [email protected]
