No, please check your "Scheduling Queue", view "Last Check" and "Next Check".

Please distinguish "check history" and "alert history".

Are you sure you want check max 4 times, and alter every 1 minuties ?
The your "check_interval" should be 12s, it's too short!

In 'nagios.cfg', set 'interval_length=1'; In host/service template, set:

check_interval      12
retry_interval          12
max_check_attempts      3

The the time duration between each alert(not check!) is 1 min .
