+
+        **Experimental: this option may be removed or have its behaviour

+
+        Set to `true` to publish both legacy and non-legacy Prometheus metric names,
+        or to `false` to only publish non-legacy Prometheus metric names.
+        Defaults to `true`. Has no effect if `enable_metrics` is `false`.
+
+        Legacy metric names include:
+        - metrics containing colons in the name, such as `synapse_util_caches_response_cache:hits`, because colons are supposed to be reserved for user-defined recording rules;
+        - counters that don't end with the `_total` suffix, such as `synapse_federation_client_sent_edus`, therefore not adhering to the OpenMetrics standard.
+
+        These legacy metric names are unconventional and not compliant with OpenMetrics standards.
+        They are included for backwards compatibility.
+
+        Example configuration:
+        ```yaml
+        enable_legacy_metrics: false
