I think the default check_interval of nagios hosts is 5 mins with a retry_interval of 1 minute (when host/service down). This is defined in the template for the host according to http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... tions.html

Although undocumented the definitions accept .X values for check_interval meaning you could use a value of 1.5 to make the check run every 90 secs. I am using this for some graphed services when I need higher resolution than the default 5 minutes I use for normal checks of hosts/services.
