The Juniper Mist platform can forward various event types, including audits, alarms, and access point (AP) events, to an external server. For integration with a standard log collector or a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system, the designated feature is Remote Syslog. This feature allows an administrator to configure a destination syslog server's IP address and port, enabling the Mist cloud to stream event messages in a standardized format, which is the primary function of a log collector.

B. webhooks: While Mist webhooks can also send event notifications, they use HTTP POST requests with a JSON payload, typically for integration with applications like Slack or custom automation scripts, not standard log collectors.

C. NETCONF: NETCONF is a network management protocol used for configuring and monitoring network devices. It is not used for streaming general event logs to a collector.

D. SNMP traps: SNMP traps are used to send asynchronous alerts about specific, critical events (e.g., an AP going offline) to a Network Management System (NMS), not for streaming a broad range of event messages.

1. Juniper Mist Documentation, "Remote Syslog": "Mist provides the ability to stream specific event types to a customer’s remote Syslog server. The supported events are: Audits, Alarms, AP Events, and Client Events." This document explicitly details the feature for sending events to a log collector. (Accessed via the Juniper Mist Cloud UI Help section under Organization > Site Configuration).

2. Juniper Mist Documentation, "Webhooks": "Mist can send event information to a 3rd party server via HTTP post. These events include alarms, audit logs, device events, and location updates." This source confirms webhooks send event data but via HTTP, which is distinct from the syslog protocol expected by a traditional log collector. (Accessed via the Juniper Mist Cloud UI Help section under Organization > Site Configuration).

3. Juniper TechLibrary, "Mist APIs": The documentation on Mist APIs describes the use of Webhooks for real-time notifications and API polling for data, but designates syslog as the streaming mechanism for logs. This distinction clarifies the intended purpose of each feature. (Reference: Mist API Documentation section on Webhooks).
