If you write Log notice file FILENAME in the torrc, tor will send log messages to the listed filename; if you write Log notice syslog in the torrc, tor will send log messages to the system log, on Fedora you can use journalctl to read these log messages.

I guess you followed atari’s advice (Log notice file /var/log/tor/notices.log), but tried reading the log with journalctl.
