what is the difference when logging this

<38>Aug 21 09:09:09 login: login from 10.100.101.110 on pts/0 as root

which is properly logged over UDP (from other unix host) and this

<14>Aug 21 01:43:44 winserver1 Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy[936]: Okresowe przetwarzanie zasad dla u##ytkownika winserver1\ostrowska zosta#<82>o uko#<84>czone w czasie 0 s.

which is not?

what syslog is refusing and why? is there any syslog option to check it 
why?
