How do I put a greater delay between checks?

[Terry Poperszky]

Ok, I am monitoring dsl circuits that have minor fluctuations on a
regular basis, I am getting inundated with notifications and I am
stumped. I want nagios to report problems that exist over a 10 minute
time period and I can't quite seem to get that to happen. Any help would
be appreciated
