What happened?

anonymous is a property of request and not of connection. Hence, the metric name should be iis.request.anonymous instead of iis.connection.anonymous.

Since this would be a name change, we'll have to use a feature gate to toggle the metric name. Additional guidance here.

@djaglowski Thanks for the link to the guidance!

Another approach I can think of is to create a new metric iis.request.anonymous and mark iis.connection.anonymous deprecated as per the guidance on removing a default metric.

If this approach is acceptable, I will have a slight preference for this approach over the feature gate approach as I feel that transitioning will be simpler for users this way. That said, I leave the final decision to you as you know this better than I do.

@vijayaggarwal, good suggestion. I think that's fine, as long as the new metric is marked optional.
