  There's no such integration, although there are some options:

  - `nmcli`, and `nmcli c` in particualar, native NM tool to manage
    connections

  - `networkctl` can show information about interface, including the
    ones managed by NM

  - NM put some additional fields in journal, you can filter on them
    with for example `journalctl NM_DEVICE=wlp61s0`; to see more fields use
    something like:
    `journalctl -u NetworkManager -o export | grep ^NM_`

  - some distribution (Arch?) have a generator creating a instance unit
    for each interface, but I do not know specifics
