We could show from which cloud provider it originated. It can help identify spam visits. And will be especially useful in combination with delete visitors feature in visitor log.

It might not be 100% correct because IPs might change weekly and when viewing visitor log from few months back then the IP used back then might not be an IP of a cloud provider anymore but it wouldn't be big issue since most of the time it would work and we don't detect all cloud providers anyway.

It be especially useful when either not wanting to automatically block these requests or you want to clean up some historical data.

we could actually also add a new dimension or (optionally) use a custom dimension to store the detected cloud provider when the visit happens.

thought about that initially but it would cause a log table schema change which would take long to execute and using custom dimensions be more like a hack.
