You can't at this time. There's an improvement request logged for it from here:

VB5 user-agent - vBulletin Community Forum

https://forum.vbulletin.com/forum/vbulletin-5-connect/support-issues-questions/4464154-vb5-user-agent

Hi how can I get user-agent in "online"? cant see it in VB5, was it removed? Thank you.

I checked the source code and the user agent is already being captured and stored in the session table. It's possible to show it on Who's Online module but it would require editing the Who's Online API (wol.php) and the corresponding templates that call the API. It would also require adding custom CSS to allow displaying 5 columns to the WOL module as it currently not designed to display more than 4 columns. In short, implementing this requires substantial custom work.

Hi Glenn

I found one of your templates updates to be useful, I tried:

Add Detailed IP Info Modal to the Who's Online page - vBulletin Mods That Rock!

https://vbmods.rocks/forum/vbulletin-5-modifications/vbulletin-5-template-only-modifications/23279-add-detailed-ip-info-modal-to-the-who-s-online-page

By default in vB5, clicking the IP Address of a user in the Who's Online page (/online) just shows you the hostname information of the user. That is not very useful. What you want to know is what country, state/region, city, postal code the user is approximately in. Additional information such as internet service and timezone

Thanks so much

While you want to make most content as easy as possible for Google to crawl, there are certain instances in which you'll want to block bots.

I installed the bot thingy from vb.org, sorry I link it but I'm on my cell. The bot list it come with is fairly huge but has been updated in years. So I'm in search for a updated bad bit list lol. Thanks
