Classify User-Agent¶
This processor parses and extracts information from a browser’s User-Agent string.
The following columns are created and may or may not be filled depending on the user agents:
- ‘type’: one of:
- ‘browser’ (desktop OS)
- ‘tablet’
- ‘phone’
- ‘mobile’ (could be either a tablet or phone)
- ‘bot’ (crawlers, spam, …)
- ‘library’ (wget, urllib2, …)
- ‘rss’ : RSS feed readers
- ‘unknown’
- ‘brand’: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Android, …
- ‘category’: Quite like brand, but tries to distinguish browsers of the same brand that behave differently. For example, IE8 and IE9 are the same brand, but different categories
- ‘version’
- ‘os’ : Operating system
- ‘osversion’ : Version of the Operating system
- ‘osflavor’ : Variant of the Operating System (Linux distribution, 32/64 bits, …)
