[Xymon] how to modify columns in Xymon dashboard

[Toyin Orokotan]

Hello John,
Thank you for your quick response.  
Please can you tell me which configuration file do I need to modify in Linux and Windows Client. In order to see new column names in Xymon Dashboard and whenever IPv6 if it's enabled in either Linux or Windows environment.


Thanks,
