Yes, anonymization feature is enabled. If I disable the anonymization then I get the group name in plain text.

The question here is, if anonymization is enabled then how to find out/ map activities with the group because the activity GUID under "Group principal name " is not matching with actual group GUID.

  Well that's kind of the point of using anonymization, you cannot tell the exact user/object. I'm not sure what the exact algorithm to generate those IDs is, probably is a combination with the tenant and user's GUID, and I'm not aware of any public document detailing it. If you need to see the actual object IDs, disable this option.
