softstates and retry check intervals

[Danny Russell]

Notifications are only sent out for HARD States. The retry check
interval is how quickly should I start checking as soon as this service
is in an non-okay status. The maximum check attempts is how many
consecutive checks must be the same before it is considered a hard
state, up until then it was a soft state.

This can probably explain it better:
