Is there a retry method for HTTP checks?

General

I know that I can set a “Maximum number of check attempts” rule, but then I have to wait 2 or 3 minutes to know an HTTP check has well and truly failed.

Is there any way to have an HTTP check retry two or three times in an immediate fashion, similar to how this can be set on an SNMP check?

Hi,
you can use the rules “Normal check interval for …” and “Retry check interval for …”

Thanks. So that will set the retry interval. Is the number of retries set by the " “Maximum number of check attempts for service” rule?

Example: for http type checks, the defaults are currently normal interval 1 minute, retry 1 minute, check attempts 1. If I set the retry interval to 10 seconds, and the number of check attempts to 4, then it will check up to 4 times every minute, correct? (Note also I will set the http check timeout to 8 seconds).

Hi,
if CMK detects an error, then the check will be triggered in an interval of 10 seconds.

How many times will it perform a retry, and where is that number set?

Never mind, I figured it out, thank you.
