Alert Precedence

[Net Warrior]

Hi
I reviewed my alerts and increased the service check interval as this:

this is the service

notifications_enabled           1
        notification_options            w,c
        notification_period             24x7
        check_period                    24x7
        check_interval                  10
        max_check_attempts              3
        first_notification_delay        0
        notification_interval           15

This is the host:

        check_interval                  1
        check_period                    24x7
        notification_period             24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        notification_interval           10
        flap_detection_enabled          0
        first_notification_delay        0


So, the host is checked every one minute and on the third failure the alert
gets fired, for the service I increased it to check every 10 minutes, so in
theory the hosts check happens firts withing 3 minutes, as the service is
checked every 10 I should not get any alert on them, but I still get the
service notifications after the hosts is down.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks for your time and support.
