Notification criteria

[l.vazquez at bpa.ad]

Good Evening,

I have a doubt with nagios notification criteria. 

[26-01-2011 15:40:45] SERVICE ALERT: 
hostName;serviceName;CRITICAL;HARD;3;Trying IP:443... [ KO ] :: Host no 
accessible 
[2601-2011 15:29:05] SERVICE ALERT: 
hostName;serviceName;CRITICAL;SOFT;2;Trying IP:443... [ KO ] :: Host no 
accessible 
[26-01-2011 15:16:05] SERVICE ALERT: 
hostName;serviceName;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;Trying IP4:443... [ KO ] :: Host no 
accessible 

The critical state began at 15:16, but I didn't receive any notification 
tll 15:40, when 'HARD' has been marked instead of 'SOFT'.
What's the difference? What's the service/config parameter of 
'HARD'/'SOFT'?

This is my service config:

        retry_check_interval    5
        notification_interval   30
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    w,u,c,r

Thanks in advance,
