Normal check interval and re try check interval doesnot work in nagios

nagios

I have configured nagios in my environment and i have used the following setting for a service which monitors the disk space for every 10 min ,

Normal check interval =10 min
retry check interval = 1 min
Maximum attempts =2

But accoring to this values i should recieve my first alert after 10 min and then from there for every 1 min. But in my case i am recieving my first alert and then next alert comes to me after 20 min. Can some one help me in fixing this.

Check retries has nothing to do with the interval notifications are sent. Use this parameter in your service definition:

notification_interval
