Thanks for your help. I've actually read quite a bit of that, and I'm
still confused. It wasn't clear that max_check_attempts is the number
of attempts that are made for each iteration, before another alert is
triggered.
The check_interval is the number of minutes between each check.
The notification_interval is how often to send an alert to an admin
about a change in status of a service.
Does that sound correct?
I still don't understand this part:

What is the point of the notification_interval in a standard service
definition? How is it triggered to use one of the escalation macros?
If I have notification_interval specified in the escalation sections,
I would think it would override the higher setting?
Thanks,
Alex
