Nagios retry interval when they have OK or UP state - centos

Question

I configure one Linux Host to Nagios Monitoring Server Using NRPE Plugin.
For this I follow the below URL
http://www.tecmint.com/how-to-add-linux-host-to-nagios-monitoring-server/
I have to check some services of Linux Host.
For monitoring linux host and services of that host, I am using nagios log(/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log)
First time all good in my nagios log that showing me as below status
SERVICE ALERT: test.testing.local;Service Tomcat;OK;SOFT;6;TOMCAT OK
When my Service status is change to non-OK state than it showing me on log
SERVICE ALERT: test.testing.local;Service Tomcat;CRITICAL;SOFT;4;TOMCAT CRITICAL
But I want that if my Service status is not change to non-OK state than again after 1 minute it show me on log
SERVICE ALERT: test.testing.local;Service Tomcat;OK;SOFT;6;TOMCAT OK
and currently that is not happening.
My services.cfg file content is given below
define service {
host_name test.testing.local
service_description Service Tomcat
check_command check_nrpe!check_service_tomcat
max_check_attempts 10
check_interval 1
retry_interval 1
active_checks_enabled 1
check_period 24x7
register 1
}
I am using Nagios 4.2.2 and CentOS 7.

I think what you are after is from the Nagios 4 Core docs here
check_interval: This directive is used to define the number of "time units" between regularly scheduled checks of the host. Unless you've changed the interval_length directive from the default value of 60, this number will mean minutes. More information on this value can be found in the check scheduling documentation.
retry_interval: This directive is used to define the number of "time
units" to wait before scheduling a re-check of the hosts. Hosts are
rescheduled at the retry interval when they have changed to a non-UP
state. Once the host has been retried max_check_attempts times without
a change in its status, it will revert to being scheduled at its
"normal" rate as defined by the check_interval value. Unless you've
changed the interval_length directive from the default value of 60,
this number will mean minutes. More information on this value can be
found in the check scheduling documentation.
If you were to set your check_interval to 1 minute (which is pretty frequent, the default as you can see is 60) you will retry every 1 minute 10 times (max_check_attempts in your config) without a change in status then it will give you an OK/UP state.
