I don't know for certain without testing, but does it work if you
change "15s" to "1".  Also, do you see the service go from a soft
state to a hard state after the 3rd check?  Take a look at the alert
history screen for that service to see better what has (or hasn't)
happened.  Also if you look at the notification history screen does it
tell you a notification was sent?

There's nothing in the documentation to indicate that "15s" is valid
syntax.  It wouldn't surprise me if Nagios ignores the "s" and retries
every 15 minutes!

See: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagioscore/3/en/objectdefinitions.html#service
