Can you be more specific?

The name of the 'conn' column is defined in the options for xymonnet.

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.
