Nagios alarms going from WARNING to CRITICAL state

[Wheeler, JF (Jonathan)]

We are running Nagios 2.11.  When a check fails, Nagios configuration
allows a number of retries of the check before the error becomes "HARD";
we find that this works well for checks which start "OK" and go
"CRITICAL".  However does the retry mechanism apply when a check goes
from "WARNING" to "CRITICAL" ?  In other words, if a check is in
"WARNING" state and then goes "CRITICAL", does it first become
"CRITICAL/SOFT", or does it become "CRITICAL/HARD" straightaway ?
