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:
