No logs are seen in /var/log/messages
If syslog messages are not being written, check whether /etc/rsyslog.conf file contains *.* /var/log/messages. This entry is added by hostpd during start up, irrespective of any logging server is configured.
Also, verify the rsyslogd process is running (pgrep rsyslog).

The logging to a logfile or syslog depends on the configured logging level. If the logging level is debug then enable “debug <module>”.
