Syslog is a system daemon that tracks system events and puts them in plaintext files the user can read. It also manages these files so that they don't get too numerous or too big.
Usually when something odd happens in any *nix system, the responsible first stop for an administrator is /var/log, where daemons like syslog places logs.
