An option is to test log the variables session.client.app_id and session.client.app_version to the APM log with the Logging Agent action in the access policy:

https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K11253

But I have not tested this myself to log those exact variables, so keep that in mind.

checked both on a tmos 14 system, first says edge, second says none.

there is a session.client.version also, which is 2.0.

seems like the host header still seems the best way.

  Hi,
  thank you for comment, yes I m sure the version doesn't appear, I get -> Version: none
  Updating client info - Hostname: XXXX Type: edge Version: none Platform: Win10 CPU: WOW64 UI Mode: Standalone Javascript Support: 1 ActiveX Support: 1 Plugin Support: 0 Model: Platform Version: Serial Number: IMEI:
  So I need to add the variables sessions session.client.app_id or session.client.app_version to get the version ?

  Try with session.client.app_version or session.client.version as boneyard said to see what you get. Also you may open a TAC case to ask why the F5 Edge Client version is not in the HTTP headers. I found only this bug in the bug tracker:

  Hi,
  Thank you it's work perfectly with the iRule, strange that I need to set the user-agent Header with an iRule.
