Carole, the option you modified refers to the interval for checking for external commands in the Nagios external command file. The option you are looking for seems to be retry_interval (present in Nagios 3) in the service definition itself (or in some of the templates the service definition uses). Please refer to the documentation.

So, i modified the nagios.cfg at this: #command_check_interval=1 command_check_interval=5 When i restart nagios server, the "Retry Check Interval" in services definition don't have modified. If i add a new service, the "Retry Check Interval" has always the value '1'. Why? Can someone help me, please?
