AlienVault Setup & Configuration Using Syslog for network traffic

I am attempting to deploy an AlienVault instance and am a bit confused about tracking the traffic. I can see that i can set policies and alarms based on certain events and that i think i need to port mirror my main port to my switch and funnel that into my AlienVault Sensor. I have wireless also however and so am a bit confused how that would work with my Draytek 2960 as have 2 vlans going into the AP and cannot port mirror with tagging I do not believe and would also need 2 network interfaces etc.
I'm wondering if using Syslog from router to send all access logs to my AlienVault and passing this info could not be used to track similar information and trigger my alarms and policies via these? Syslog entries just show as Source being router however and data just UserData1 and UserData2 and wondering how

Format is similar to above so just need some pretty regex I hope to turn this into the data I need if possible?
