That should work, here is a sample from my config:
define service {
name --template Customer Service
max_check_attempts 5
normal_check_interval 10
retry_check_interval 3
active_checks_enabled 1
check_period 24x7
process_perf_data 1
retain_status_information 1
retain_nonstatus_information 1
notification_interval 30
notification_period ShopHours
notifications_enabled 1
register 0
notification_options u,c,r
servicegroups Customer Services
contact_groups FieldOpsSupport,TechOpsSupport
}

Hello Danny,
Thxs for the immeidate reply. actualy i need to do this
"In order to prevent false alarms, Nagios allows you to define how many
times a service or host check will be retried before the service or host
is
considered to have a real problem."
but my one process went to NRPE time out..it gives critical alert..but
its a
false alarm. if nagios can check that service 3 times..if all three
times
fails..it should alert...
this is my servises.cfg
define service{
use generic-service ; Name of
service template to use
host_name Linux-PBX
service_description PBX-Asterisk process
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 1
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups linux-admins
notification_interval 240
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,u,c,r
check_command check_snmp_process!asterisk
}
thxs in advance
Tharanga

Notifications are only sent out for HARD States. The retry check
interval is how quickly should I start checking as soon as this service
is in an non-okay status. The maximum check attempts is how many
consecutive checks must be the same before it is considered a hard
state, up until then it was a soft state.
This can probably explain it better:

softstates in nagios.
