You did run devmon --readbbhosts (or equivalent) after setting these?

Here is an example from my production set-up (two lines total)
xxx.xxx.xxx.8  omicron.yyy.yyy # 
DEVMON:cid(abc),except(if_stat;ifName;na:Gi11/.*|Gi4/.*|AT2/0.*) testip
xxx.xxx.xxx.254 kappa.yyy.yyy # 
DEVMON:model(cisco;asa),cid(xyz),thresh(connects;cur_conn;y:200000;r:300000,cpu;CPUTotal5Min;y:30;r:50) 
testip
