title: How to retrieve exact user-agent string from Google Analytics
body: <p>We have an interesting 'bug' in our JS code that only fires when a user agent has a specific combination of parameters -- specifically when IE8 sends both Trident/4.0 and MSIE 6.0;</p>
  
  <p>We have checked the GA export data; it appears to export only the pre-digested browser information:
  <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/gdata/gdataReferenceDimensionsMetrics.html#browser" rel="noreferrer">http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/gdata/gdataReferenceDimensionsMetrics.html#browser</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Forum post 87919 on forums.digitalpoint.com (link removed since I'm a n00b)
  refers to pulling a cross-segment report for more detail; however, that no longer appears to be on the GA front end interface.</p>
  
  <p>Why do we need this instead of just fixing it?  If it turns out it only impacts a few users, we can schedule the fix later in the cycle; if it's impacting 20% of our base, it becomes far sooner to fix.</p>
  
  <p>So, the question - how can we pull a specific User Agent string from GA; pull all UA strings from GA or run a Regex against GA to get a count of a matching UA string?</p>
  
  <p>We're also working with the SA team to enable UA logging on the apache level (very high volume website; logging is turned way down).  </p>
