changing behavior of check times etc

[Matej]

Im new to Nagios. But I might be able to help you out. Its best you change
these values in the service template, witch is defined in templates.cfg in
the sample configuration.
There you need to look for these parameters,

check_interval                  2             ; This one is in minutes. just
set it to 30, for your case.
retry_interval                    1             ;  This defines the check
time for the checks after the first negative. (minutes :)
max_check_attempts              3      ;  And this is your notification
limit. After 3 the check will go to a hard state and you recieve a
notification.
notification_interval           0             ; This defines if the
notifications should be resent. 0 means no resends.
service_notification_options    w,u,c,r,f,s   ; This will be useful to you
to.. It defines what kind of messages you recieve. Check what those letters
mean, so you find the right on for you. I recieve only warning and recovery.

Hope this helps out.

later
