How do I view the User Agent of outgoing requests to SharePoint made from my Azure Web Application?

I'm following the guidance from Microsoft on decorating traffic to avoid throttling. This guidance specifies that you set a specific User Agent on outgoing requests from the application to SharePoint via CSOM when making API calls.

I have made this change, and would like to now verify that the User Agent is in fact appropriately modified on API calls to SharePoint.

My provider-hosted application is hosted on Azure, and while I can see CSOM calls to SharePoint (https://(mytenancy).sharepoint.com/sites/(mysite)/_vti_bin/client.svc/ProcessQuery) in the Application Map as a dependency, I can't figure out how to view the actual outbound request so as to examine it for the User Agent string.

How can I view the User Agent string on outbound requests from my Azure application? How can I verify that I've set the User Agent string on my calls to the SharePoint API?

Additional Info: I have tried running the application as well on localhost and employed the use of Wireshark and Fiddler, but I'm only picking up requests to client.svc/ProcessQuery with my browser's User Agent string. I get the feeling I'm not even seeing all the CSOM requests.

User Agent is used for determining browser and browser version , however it seems to be dropped in processing and not available in search or export.

Please have a look at below links for further details.

UserAgent not transfered

UserAgent, Lat/Long and URL expansion data removed

Hope this information helps.
