Hi Team,

There is service or host which is happening check interval every 5 min and retry interval 1 min and max checks 5 times

If any service is down it will check every 1 min and 5 times hard state.
Ex: service is having issue at 10:00AM
Service will check every 1 min and 5 times. 10:05AM.

If service will up at 10:30, in between 10:05 to 10:30 how many times service will poll to check the status?

After a service is in a HARD down state, Nagios resumes the normal check interval, rather than the retry interval. And since the service is already in a HARD down state, it does not need to go through the retries to ensure that it is down.

Here's a document that explains it in greater detail.
