Lost history after rename of test column
Running Hobbit 4.2.0. After rename of some custom tests and deleting the old name, discovered that trying to view History tells me "cannot open history file". It appears there is no history file for the newly named tests, that I can find. Neither is there one for the old named tests, which is probably due to my having deleted the test column.
I know there was history for the old named test.
Have I missed a step? Do I need to run rrdtool, create, or something?
I don't recall seeing this issue mentioned, but I may have missed it/not found it while searching.
If I look at a system graph, say CPU, in Internet Explorer, then when I click on the magnifying glass and zoom in, it works fine.
But if I try that in another browser, say Mozilla or Chrome, then I just see a graph with a big blue block where the picture should be.
This is with xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2.
Thanks, Taylor

Hi,
edit $BBHOME/www/menu/menu.css and add the following to the bottom:
#zoomSensitiveZone{ opacity:0; } #zoomBox{ opacity:0.5; }

There is a fix documented on the web page. I did it a month or so ago. Don't remember it exactly.

Not quite sure what you did, but the recommended method for renaming a test - and keeping the history - is
bb 127.0.0.1 "rename HOSTNAME oldtest newtest"
That will rename the history files. It won't do the RRD file (since what RRD files belong to a test is rather difficult to determine), but you can rename those manually in the ~hobbit/data/rrd/HOSTNAME/ directory.

I did a delete of the oldtest name. Not knowing of the rename. I guess the problem is that the old test rrd files were also deleted. And now, there are none. I can live with the lost history, but would like to start a new history file for each test.

Turns out, I have outsmarted myself. And I wallow, wallow, I tell you, in my own smugness.
A while back, I wanted to break test names into two lines and found that <br/> seemed to do that. Some one warned me that might break something further on. But, did I listen? Yes, but there was no follow up, so I bumbled on.
Well, I guess it does break something, as some testing indicates the <br/> is what is causing this problem. Ah, well, Monday starts a new week.
