User Agent Used for Federation? (community.nodebb.org)

Looking through my logs it seems that NodeBB doesn't have any defined User Agent for it's ActivityPub requests.

Mastodon has Mastodon/<version> (athing; +https://<websitehere>) Friendica has Friendica/<version> +https://<website>

And many more other federated software have similar things. But when looking through my web request logs I'm not seeing any specific User Agent for NodeBB forums. The only one in fact that I've found which might be NodeBB is node-fetch.

I'm asking simply because I have a tool that monitors specifically for ActivityPub requests from various clients. And I'd like to be able to track NodeBB ActivityPub requests as well, but I'm not seeing how at the moment.

@julian I completely understand not putting the full version in the user agent, I think a lost of the other Mastodon clients do something similair.

@andrew@pythag.net Thanks for the info! I did end up finding it with that user agent. Apparently my events log was just WAY behind what I thought it should be.

@tankerkiller125 @andrew@pythag.net NodeBB will report the hostname in the next version.
