User Agent String

The User-Agent string is an identification string sent with every request to your web server. If you wish you can select a custom User-Agent string to be used with the targets in your account. This feature is useful in case you want to easily filter all visits by our monitoring agent or if your application serves different content depending on the User-agent string.

This article applies to the Full-page and the Transaction monitoring services only.
