Alerts log file

[frank]

For your error message:
http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=17

The mystery number in your line is the attempt counter. The number 
increments on consecutive failures of that service. When it reaches 
"max_check_attempts" (defined in the service definition) notifications are 
sent out. I'm guessing your config has "max_check_attempts 5".

Hope this helps
