Performance data is not going to tell me where the users are located.
Yes it was only because I had the logs was I able to do this analysis. The issue is not over these sort of analyses which I am sure nobody would object to, but that GDPR casts such a wide net.

You implied you already had "local" servers - it sounded like bandwidth/load information might indicate the area were load was increasing.

Local to the market - actually they are regional.
The complication is that I have a client-based fallover where when one server becomes overloaded the client is switched automatically over to a different server (client based load balancing). This make it hard to sort out where the load is coming from without looking at the IP address.
Can't argue with the fact that storing less and corner grained data will make certain ad hoc queries harder.
That's kinda the point.
