Hi,
check your /etc/syslog.conf for the type of error/info going to syslog.log.

Re: confused by some information in syslog.log

It looks like some device (firewall) is configured to log to this syslog server. Check for devices - devname=FG100A2106400379 device_id=FG100A2106400379

This look like fortigate firewall - http://www.fortinet.com

Check with your network team for any new installed/configured firewalls.

Re: confused by some information in syslog.log

And you can filter which hosts have access to your syslog server via /etc/syslog.auth - http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/base_doc/DOCUMENTATION/V50_HTML/MAN/MAN4/0239____.HTM

If this file is empty then all hosts have access.
