Hi @swapna_0506
these are requests sent as beacons from Adobe Analytics (when s.useBeacon is set to true).
Pings/Beacons are a special type of request that should be more robust against browser navigation i.e., the requsts should ideally not be cancelled when the brower intends to navigate away.
More on this in the docs
Side note: the payload gets typically harder to inspect by browser extensions. In that case, it is the easiest to click on the network request directly and have a look at the payload there.
