Overview
Details
This technology add-on provides a dynamic lookup to add fields to user agent (browser) data. As user agent string are very difficult to work with, these fields are intended to make working with these events easier.

Some of the additional fields include:
ua_category = The user-agent family (Firefox, Safari, IE, Wget, etc.)

ua_is_mobile = If the UA is a mobile UA (WAP browser) (True, False, unknown)
ua_is_syndication_reader = If the UA is an RSS reader (True, False, unknown)
ua_name = A name for the UA. In many cases this is family + version
ua_platform = Platform the UA (Linux, MacOSX, Win7, WinXP, etc.)

See the README for more information including all fields and installation.

Installation

To install:

  1. Untar the TA-browscap.tar.gz file in your $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps
    diectory.

  2. Change to the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/TA-browscap/bin directory

  3. Download the browscap.csv file from the project:
    wget -O browscap.csv http://browscap.org/stream?q=BrowsCapCSV

  4. Restart Splunk.

The lookup expects a field named "http_user_agent". In the search bar,
you can run something like:
