Title: Delay hostchecks?

Hello,

Is it possible to delay hostchecks until after you've done all retries stated in the service defintion? If for example a service check fails once Nagios will immediately start doing hostchecks. This is not very good because a short reboot/power failure/ etc will make Nagios send alarms about host being down. Especially bad is this during weekend when people are hired to monitor and get these kind of alarms in the middle of the night.

The behaviour in Nagios is;

Service check fails 09:00 -> host check 09:00 -> Send Alarm

I want to have a 15 minute period before Nagios starts doing hostchecks, like this;

Service check fails 09:00 -> wait 1 min -> Service check fails 09:01 ->  repeat 13 times -> host check 09:15 -> Send Alarm


Im using Nagios 2.4.

Regards,
Anders
