I currently have my max_check_attempts in my host definition set to 10, and when that host goes down, it seems to only have a 3 second interval on its checking, so the 10 checks take only 30 seconds before switching from a SOFT state to HARD, and sending out a notification.  I know there?s an retry_check_interval option for service definitions, but didn?t see an equivalent for the host definitions.  I looked in nagios.cfg and didn?t see anything there.  I?d like to adjust this so that it waits about 60 seconds between each check.  Thanks.

What you're looking to do isn't possible in Nagios 2.x.  There is no way
to adjust the host check interval.
