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 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"?
