Hi Jason, 

After spending hours studying each configuration and looking at the state 
status in the webpage monitor, I noticed that the attempts increments such 
as 1/3, then 2/3, and lastly 3/3. Then it becomes HARD. LOL. Anyways, I also 
found out that the value 3 is actually the max_check_attempts I defined for 
that service. 

I have a question now. Am I correct that if we set "max_check_attempts" to 
10, and we have "retry_check_interval" set at 5, then before we can receive 
an email, it will take 50 minutes? The way I understand this config is that 
it will check the service every 5 minutes, then it will try 10 times before 
it changes the STATE to hard. 

Thanks everyone.
