Thanks, I think I understand how this works. But I'm having this problem with service checks, not host checks. I do have the concurrent service check limit set to 30 and I wonder if that is affecting the scheduling of service check retries but, if so, I would think it would make the retry interval longer, not shorter than specified. Does anyone know if service check retries are subject to the concurrency limit?
