When you don't specify the lower limit, the number is the higher limit an=
d the lower
limit is 0 (see the plugin specs).

In Perfarse, there is a limitation with limits : we can parse and store o=
nly one number
and consider it as the higher limit. I need to investigate to see if vers=
ions until
0.100.X consider the lower limit as -infinite or as 0.

In perfparse-0.101.X we don't have that limitation in the parser any more=
. We will keep
that limitation in the database schema for a while because we cannot do e=
verything at
the same time :)
However, fixing this limitation is in our high priorities, with reducing =
the database
size and with having a better client/server support than just accessing t=
he database
directly from any machine.

Before that we change it, try to avoid plugins that return inversed value=
s (as free
space, free memory, free candy...) and only have plugins that return WARN=
 or CRIT with
high values.
Help is always welcome, and now, help would be particularly appreciated f=
or beta-testing
perfparse-0.101.0ymX from http://ymettier.chez.tiscali.fr/perfparse-devel=
/index.php
(warning : I'm very active and I can release more than 1 version a day :)
Read doc/UPGRADE that is the only documentation about what changed.
