AFAIK these intervals don't take time as their argument, but a
multiplier of 'interval_length' (by default, this is set to 60 seconds).

So Nagios probably ignores the 's' suffix and the resulting intervals
are all in minutes...

I guess you could set 'interval_length' to '1' (second) and set other
intervals accordingly (30, 60, 900, ...).
