max_check_attempts is the number of FAILED attempts (each made
"retry_interval" after the previous failing attempt) before a service
moves from a "soft" failure state to a "hard" failure state.  Notifies
are sent when max_check_attempts have been made, and the service is
then in a "hard" state.  Notifies are also sent when a hard-failing
services is rechecked (at "check_interval"), and at least
notification_interval has passed since the last notify.
