<div>Hi Dongsheng</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I tried as you suggested by putting </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Check_interval 1</div>
<div>retry_interval 1</div>
<div>max_check_attempts 3</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But this is what i see on the alert history :</div>
<div> </div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="WORD-SPACING: 0px; FONT: 11px arial; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); TEXT-INDENT: 0px; WHITE-SPACE: normal; LETTER-SPACING: normal; BORDER-COLLAPSE: separate; orphans: 2; widows: 2; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0">
<div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline">[05-19-2009 <font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff0000">13:42:35</font>] HOST ALERT: app-engbw5;DOWN;HARD;3;FPING CRITICAL - (loss=100% )</div>
<div><br clear="all">[05-19-2009 <font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff0000">13:37:38</font>] HOST ALERT: app-engbw5;DOWN;SOFT;2;FPING CRITICAL - (loss=100% )</div>

<div> </div>
<div>Again the time duration between each check is like 5 min . Its increased now to 5 min from 3 min</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I want to make it as 1 min and third attempt state as HARD and send notification.</div>
<div> </div>

<div>Also one more question :</div>
<div> </div>
<div>How was nagios managing that retry_interval earlier when this parameter was not even set ??</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is it because of SMART calculation thats set in nagios.cfg ??? If not please can i know how that worked ???<br><br></div>
