# ps ax | grep plymouth
   105 ?        S      0:02 /bin/plymouthd --attach-to-session

# ps axZ | grep plymouth

# ls -lZ /var/log/boot.log
-rw-r--r--. root root system_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0   boot.log


Are all the other log files in /var/log working fine ? Your  
rsyslog.conf should have a line like this:

# grep local7 /etc/rsyslog.conf
local7.*                                                /var/log/ 
boot.log
