Hello, normally there are ~30 files in /var/log file but in my device I have no syslog, kernlog, apport log and etc.

Only have  
apt  
btmp  
dpkg  
lastlog  
wtmp  
xorg  
files in my /var/log path

I’m using Linux 4.15.0-140 tegra aarch64 Ubuntu

Are you sure this is a official BSP provided by NVIDIA sdkmanager/L4T package?

What is the status of rsyslog service running on your board?
