I would think dropping the test would yield this result. But it seems like
other people do not agree. Is that true?

Ralph,
that’s what i’ve learned from that behaviour.
But I’m wondering if it wouldn’t be possible to ->completely wipe out the
word<- in UPPERCASE out of my Xymon data?
So that my script afterwards creates a Normalcase word?
Regards
Christian

Well, yes, you can change the test name to a completely different word.
However, the first report with the new name defines the uppercase/lowercase
characteristics for that word.
So, you can change the test name from DATANODE to dN, which is a different
word, but you won't subsequently be able to change dN to DN or dN or Dn.

I think that’s not 100% right, since i was able to rename this test from
“DATANODE” to “DN”; so this was successful.
But after that, when my script was reporting again to the Xymon server,
there was an additional column “DATANODE” again. So, that part matches your
answer, that the next upcoming messages will result in the “old” column
name.

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"?
