Include the User-Agent in the Timeline

This idea was imported from Canny. Originally created by: Marques Johansson. The current owner is: Unassigned.

When reviewing the list of events, the user, action, and time are listed. I would also like to know how the event was triggered (User Agent). This can tell me, for example, if the action was performed by one of my users in the Portal (via a browser) or if a third-party integration was used, such as Terraform, Rancher, or ClusterAPI. Managed provisioners, such as Rancher or ClusterAPI, or CI/CD triggered provisioners, like Metal CLI and Terraform, can go unnoticed. When automation is running smoothly and a manual change or deletion was made via the portal, I'd also like to understand that and see it reflected in the portal. The User-Agent will tell me this. Reporting the UserAgent (or some aggregate of that) would help in identifying how my resources are being acted upon.
