Hi Andreas, Thanks for the reply. The retry_interval will retry to ensure the service is actually down, which is the case here. This is set to three in my configuration. However, once it exceeds retry_interval and the service is deemed as not-OK, it is then that I want it to increase the check frequency. I couldn't find anything in the documentation.
