<p>If you stop Xymon, save a copy of the checkpoint file, then edit the file to change all the misspellings , that might do it. I don't know where else it might be "remembered". You might also need to rename and/or edit some history files.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p>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.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>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.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p>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.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>Or maybe things have changed since I last tried, but that's how I remember it. Rename was for hostnames only.<u></u><u></u></p>

Did you try the ol' two-step?<br>
“rename MYHOST DATANODE foo”<br>
“rename MYHOST foo DataNode”<br>

Is your test script reporting in as "DATANODE" or as "DataNode"?<br>
