Its not this kind of log. Its a plain file created by a program. There is nothing in the syslog.
If you have the logger program installed you could write a small script reading the log file, creating syslog messages out of it and then truncate the log file accordingly. If the program is creating the logfile by redirectio you could even use a pipe and forego the logfile completely:
logger is part of many Linux distributions and is used to create syslog messages from the commandline.

initlog
initlog(8) System Manager's Manual initlog(8)NAME
initlog - log messages and events to the system logger
SYNOPSIS
initlog [-cefnpqrs] [--cmd=ARG] [--event=ARG] [--facility=ARG] [--name=ARG] [--priority=ARG] [--run=ARG] [--string=ARG]
DESCRIPTION
initlog logs messages and events to the system logger. It is mainly designed for use in init scripts. initlog reads a configuration file
/etc/initlog.conf by default, to determine its settings. Any line preceded with a # is a comment, and the following configuration direc-
tives are recognized:
facility <logging facility>
Sets the default logging facility
priority <logging priority>
Sets the default logging priority
ignore <regexp>
Messages that match the regular expression will not be logged.
initlog behavior can also be configured by command-line options.
OPTIONS
-c, --cmd=[program]
Execute the specified program, logging anything output to stdout or stderr.
-e, --event=[number]
Logs that the specified event happened. Used in conjuction with --name. Currently specified events are:
1 the action completed successfully
2 the action failed
3 the action was cancelled at user request
4 the action failed due to the failure of a dependent action
-f, --facility=[facility]
Log at the specified syslog facility. The default is daemon (see syslog(3)).
-n, --name=[string]
Log the event under the specified string, such as "inetd".
-p, --priority=[priority]
Log at the specified syslog priority. The default is notice (see syslog(3)).
-q Do not print the program's output, unless it exits with a non-zero exit code.
-r, --run=[program]
Execute the specified program, with an open file descriptor so that the program can pass back commands to initlog.
-s, --string=[string]
Log the specified string to the logger.
--conf=[file]
Specifies an alternate configuration file.
