Juniper Mist Dashboard Overview

Overview

The Juniper Mist integration is in Preview. Please reach out to your Datadog representative to sign up.

The Juniper Mist integration provides comprehensive monitoring of your cloud-managed Juniper Mist wireless and wired network infrastructure. Gain real-time visibility into access points, switches, and gateways to ensure optimal network performance and quickly identify issues.

  • Complete network visibility: Monitor the health and performance of all your Juniper Mist devices including access points, switches, and gateways from a single dashboard
  • Proactive performance management: Track critical metrics like CPU usage, memory utilization, uptime, and device status to identify performance issues before they impact users
  • Detailed interface monitoring: Get granular insights into network traffic, errors, throughput, and PoE power consumption across all switch and gateway ports
  • Site-level insights: Monitor site statistics including device counts, client connections, and infrastructure health across all your locations
  • Network Device Monitoring Integration: Automatically populate Datadog’s Network Device Monitoring with your Juniper Mist device inventory, enabling network topology visualization and intelligent alerting

Setup

To configure the Juniper Mist integration, you need to generate an API token from your Juniper Mist dashboard and provide your organization’s API host.

Generate a Juniper Mist API Token

  1. Log in to your Juniper Mist account.
  2. Navigate to Organization > Settings.
  3. Scroll down to the API Token section.
  4. Click Create Token.
  5. Enter a descriptive name for your token (for example, “Datadog Integration”).
  6. Grant your token the “Observer” role for all sites.
  7. Copy the generated API token. You will need this in the next step.

Configure the Integration in Datadog

  1. In the Datadog app, open the Juniper Mist integration tile.
  2. Click the Configuration tab.
  3. Click + Add New Account.
  4. Enter a Name for your Juniper Mist account (for example, “Production Network”).
  5. In the API Host field, enter your Juniper Mist API host. Refer to your Juniper Mist dashboard URL. Examples of hosts include gc4.mist.com, ac2.mist.com, and api.mist.com.
  6. Paste the API Token you generated in the previous step.
  7. Click Save.
