Welcome to the Internet!

Any Internet connected machine will be port scanned, vuln probed, brute forced, blindly hit with ancient "1 shot" exploits (think wordpress plugins) and trawled for include vulnerabilities (e.g. ?file=../../../etc/passwd ) on a daily basis.

It's not normally something to worry about.

Disable root login, enable certificate authentication and if you feel particularly strongly about the log noise firewall off TCP/22 or move sshd to a high numbered port.
