Can APM recognise Blackberry OS in the same manner it recognises iPhone, Android and Windows Phone?

Would an expression like the one below in the "Client OS" check in the policy profile do the trick?

 

expr { [mcget {session.client.platform}] == "Blackberry" }

 

If not how can this be achieved please.

 

Kindly Wasfi

    Hi,

     

    If requests that come from blackberry use a specific HTTP header (such as User-Agent), APM can find it. If session.client.platform is not satisfactory, you could use the Empty agent and build your own TCL custom expression to find your Blackberry users and branch out of it.

     

    You can use in CLI the sessiondump or click on the identified session of your choice in the 'Manage Sessions' section in the GUI to list the session variables populated by your requests and see if there is anything relevant there.

    Hi,

     

    the best solution is to connect to APM, and watch APM 'All sessions' reports.

     

    you will be able to display session variables of active session. browse the variable tree to find which variable / value you can use.
