[Xymon] Strange behaviour: summary reports purple while test details is OK

[Andrey Chervonets]

But question N2 is still actual:
How should I (or should I?) merge data for under old and new hostnames 
under data/hostdata ?
will it be just enough move content of data/hostdata/oldhost/* to 
data/hostdata/newhost/* ?
