For the messages that are specific to Guacamole, I believe this can be done
through configuring logback, which has a syslog appender:

https://logback.qos.ch/manual/appenders.html#SyslogAppender

A configuration leveraging this could be applied by overriding Guacamole's
default logback configuration by providing a GUACAMOLE_HOME/logback.xml
file:
