rename the default column names in Xymon
Can you be more specific?

The name of the 'conn' column is defined in the options for xymonnet.  From the manual:
The actual name of the tag - "conn" by default - depends on the
"--ping=TESTNAME" option for xymonnet, as that decides the testname
for the connectivity test.
I suspect that needs to align with a similar setting in xymonserver.cfg, where there are some other similar settings.
PINGCOLUMN="conn"               # Column where the ping-test reports results.
INFOCOLUMN="info"               # Column where the info-pages are reported.
TRENDSCOLUMN="trends"           # Column where the RRD graphs are reported.
CLIENTCOLUMN="clientlog"        # Column where raw client logs are reported.

I'm not aware of any other columns generated server-side by default. I'm pretty sure all other columns are going to be created by client-generated messages.
