http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/notifications.html max_check_attempts is the number of FAILED attempts (each made "retry_interval" after the previous failing attempt) before a service moves from a "soft" failure state to a "hard" failure state. Notifies are sent when max_check_attempts have been made, and the service is then in a "hard" state. Notifies are also sent when a hard-failing services is rechecked (at "check_interval"), and at least notification_interval has passed since the last notify.
