I need to be able to find our users that are using the Safari browser. The user agent string looks something like this:
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/12.0.742.122 Safari/534.30"
I believe the regex string to be something like this: ^Mozilla/.*Safari.
So how to I properly form the search?
Side note: I have a whole set of regex to set the browser type based on the user agent string. Is this best accomplished with a lookup?
A search for all users of Safari should just be directed to your web access logs and the Safari or AppleWebKit keyword:
sourcetype=access_combined Safari AppleWebKit
Alternatively, you probably want to extract the user agent string and group by that. To do that, you should use the built in extractions for iis or apache. If you are using apache, simply classify your sourcetype for these logs as access_combined.
