The example is the correct one (colons).

Can you try the attached patch, and re-read your bb-hosts file?

It seems to work correctly here. I tested with:
DEVMON:thresh(cpu;CPUTotal5Min;y:60;r:90,if_load;ifInLoad;y:100;r:101,if_load;ifOutLoad;y:100;r:101)

And the correct load thresholds showed on the if_load test:
Interface error rates:
Input load:  yellow=100%, red=101%
Output load: yellow=100%, red=101%

whereas without it it shows:
Interface error rates:
Input load:  yellow=75%, red=95%
Output load: yellow=100if_load;ifInLoad;r:101;y:100%, red=101%


I will wait until tomorrow to see if the thresholds are actually applied 
correctly.

Also, would you mind filing a bug on the sourceforge tracker. It will allow me 
to organise my work on devmon better (and allow discussion of fixes etc. in a 
more organised fashion).
