You'll want to modify interval_length in nagios.cfg to be something less
than or equal to 30. normal_check_interval and the like are just
multipliers for this value and not time units themselves.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/configmain.html#interval_length

setting this number to 30 and using a normal_check_interval of 1 in a
service definition would mean nagios attempts to check the service every
30 seconds. Normal_check_interval of 2 would correspond to 60 seconds,
etc.

Note that adjusting this value affects everything that depends on timing
so you'll need to adjust repeat notification intervals, escalations, etc
appropriately. You can grep the docs for interval_length to get a list.
