1. A computer-implemented method of monitoring communications, the method comprising:
receiving, by a first server, a message associated with a uniform resource location (URL) address;
receiving, by the first server, a response message generated based on the URL address, the response message including data associated with the URL address and a parameter value associated with an attribute of the data;
determining, by the first server, that the response message is acceptable at least in part by determining that the parameter value of the response message comprises an allowable value defined in one or more activity records, the one or more activity records being associated with the URL address associated with the message;
updating an activity record of the one or more activity records based on the response message and based on the parameter value of the response message comprising the allowable value; and
providing, by the first server, the updated activity record for use by a second server.
