not seeing additional fields when using the browscap TA.

Not sure why -> everything looks installed correctly but I am not seeing the additional fields when running this search -> sourcetype = "iisw3c" | lookup browscap_lookup http_user_agent

We are running Splunk version 5.x -> could it be a version issue?

Two things to check:

Did you download the .csv file per the README at etc/apps/TA-browscap?

Assuming you did, the next question is does the http_user_agent field exist in event? if not, try running the search like this instead:

sourcetype="iisw3c" | eval http_user_agent=USERAGENT | lookup browscap_lookup http_user_agent

replacing USERAGENT with the correct field name containing the raw user agent string.
