Running Nagios 3.2.3, here is an example from the log that shows Nagios retrying a failed check after only 10 seconds. The normal check interval is 7.5 minutes, retry interval is 1 minute, max. check attempts is 3.
Note that this test has a timeout of 130 seconds, so it's been running for over 2 minutes when it times out. Does Nagios do retries sooner when the timeout for a check is longer than the retry interval? Is the retry interval measured from the time the previous check starts, or from the time it ends?
