How to get the User Agent of a user triggering a GTM event?

I have a Data Layer event push in JS and was wondering if it is also possible to learn the User-Agent of the users triggering the event.

Google analytics custom dimension field can be maximum 150 characters and user agent data (when encoded) usually exceed the limit. You need to find a way to shorten the user agent information within a custom js script before sending to GA. You may crop the first 150 character of the user agent information or remove the unnecessary sections or remove the blank characters.

Even more simply, can't you use a "JavaScript Variable" (instead of a "Custom JavaScript" and then just set navigator.userAgent?

You need to create variable which will return user agent

1) Go to Variables -> New

2) Name: User Agent

3) Type: Custom JavaScript

4) Code:

function () {return  navigator.userAgent;}

Then you can use this variable in your tags like that {{User Agent}}
