I have the node being polled with working OID's, I see the values as applied to the node from the DCI template applied to it. The numerical values are displayed on the map, however the text inside the 'display name' filed of the DCI data source, which is SNMP is not displaying the text in the 'Display Name' field. 

Am I doing something wrong? 

Running on 5.2.0, currently on Windows as I run housekeeper in the background to delete old data so that I can export the DB and moved to a new Ubuntu install........



Thanks!

Can you show screenshots of how the DCI is configured (just the General page of DCI properties) and where exactly the "Display Name" is empty?

Not a problem!

Any thoughts?

Typically full DCI description is quite long and inconvenient to be used on links, that's why it's not displayed there by default.
What we have instead is so called format string, which can be seen in properties of a data source. Format string can contain any text, so you can just put description of your DCI there. Placement of DCI value is defined by java macros. See docs for information on this: https://www.netxms.org/documentation/adminguide/visualisation.html#adding-links-between-objects
