An intermediary server receives a first HTTP request from a client to access a resource hosted by a host server. The intermediary server can analyze the first HTTP request to identify a secret associated with the first HTTP request and apply a hashing algorithm to the identified secret to generate a hashed version of the identified secret. The intermediary server then updates a data structure with a client identifier associated with the first HTTP request, a resource identifier associated with the resource, the hashed version of the identified secret, and a time of the first HTTP request. The intermediary server then generates a dashboard interface based on data stored in the data structure, where the dashboard interface displays a history of requests for resources by clients.
