In my experience, it is next to impossible to rename a test column. Whatever it first shows up as, that's what is remembered. I guess subsequent reports are matched case-insensitively, so any other upper/lower case combination is mapped to that first record.
Or maybe things have changed since I last tried, but that's how I remember it. Rename was for hostnames only.

All,
i want to rename a test column from UPPERCASE to NormalCase.
I tried this using the command:
xymon localhost “rename MYHOST DATANODE DataNode”
Unfortunately this doesn’t seem to work.
Did you try the ol' two-step?
“rename MYHOST DATANODE foo”
“rename MYHOST foo DataNode”
Is your test script reporting in as "DATANODE" or as "DataNode"?

I believe this is still the case. I went around a few buoys because our DB people had created a test called "Cluster" and then our Unix people created a test called "cluster", but the unix test appeared on the page as "Cluster". This distinction propagated though to analysis.cfg and alerts.cfg and graphs.cfg as well.
