Abstract
Systems and methods for generating a fingerprint including multiple tracking identifiers. Control circuitry receives a first tracking identifier from a first component of a network. The first tracking identifier is associated with a data request sent to the first component. The control circuitry identifies parameters based on a configuration of the first component. The control circuitry transmits an application programming interface (API) request for information related to the parameters from the first component. The control circuitry receives information related to the parameters for the first component in response to the API request. The control circuitry determines a second tracking identifier based on the first tracking identifier and the information related to the parameters for the first component. The control circuitry transmits the second tracking identifier to the first component. The first tracking identifier and the second tracking identifier are combined to generate a fingerprint in connection with the data request.
