client_Browser field is always empty in App Insights

For all requests in App Insights the property client_Browser is empty for some reason. How can I make App insights populate client_Browser column?

Solution

  • This feature(client_os, client_browser are populated in app insights) has been deprecated for a long time, see the issue here.

    As of now, client_Browser is only populated in the pageViews telemetry, but not in request telemetry.

    Here is the screenshot of pageViews telemetry:

    If you just want to query the requests based on which browser, you can simply join pageViews table and requests table via session_Id in the Application Insights logs.

    Also, here is the request feature about this, please upvote it.
