I found out that rsyslog was not installed even though the status returned something that looked like it was present but just not running. When I installed syslog-ng it must of uninstalled rsyslog as part of its install. After installing rsyslog the system logs started filling again.
The rsyslog.conf file allows you to set up a log server that can be the hub of all your networked hosts by communicating through udp or tcp with the clients. I am just happy getting my logs back so I will stop here for now.
