User Agent processoredit
The user_agent
processor extracts details from the user agent string a browser sends with its web requests.
This processor adds this information by default under the user_agent
field.
The ingest-user-agent module ships by default with the regexes.yaml made available by uap-java with an Apache 2.0 license. For more details see https://github.com/ua-parser/uap-core.

Here is an example that adds the user agent details to the user_agent
field based on the agent
field:
PUT _ingest/pipeline/user_agent { "description" : "Add user agent information", "processors" : [ { "user_agent" : { "field" : "agent" } } ] } PUT my_index/_doc/my_id?pipeline=user_agent { "agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.103 Safari/537.36" } GET my_index/_doc/my_id
Which returns
{ "found": true, "_index": "my_index", "_type": "_doc", "_id": "my_id", "_version": 1, "_seq_no": 22, "_primary_term": 1, "_source": { "agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.103 Safari/537.36", "user_agent": { "name": "Chrome", "original": "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.103 Safari/537.36", "version": "51.0.2704.103", "os": { "name": "Mac OS X", "version": "10.10.5", "full": "Mac OS X 10.10.5" }, "device" : { "name" : "Other" }, } } }
Using a custom regex fileedit
To use a custom regex file for parsing the user agents, that file has to be put into the config/ingest-user-agent
directory and
has to have a .yml
filename extension. The file has to be present at node startup, any changes to it or any new files added
while the node is running will not have any effect.
In practice, it will make most sense for any custom regex file to be a variant of the default file, either a more recent version or a customised version.
The default file included in ingest-user-agent
is the regexes.yaml
from uap-core: https://github.com/ua-parser/uap-core/blob/master/regexes.yaml
Node Settingsedit
The user_agent
processor supports the following setting:
-
ingest.user_agent.cache_size
-
The maximum number of results that should be cached. Defaults to
1000
.
Note that these settings are node settings and apply to all user_agent
processors, i.e. there is one cache for all defined user_agent
processors.
