So I have 60 second scans. 60 second timeout. Warn 4 before down. Sensor is HTTP. So you should always get down and notification at the 5 min mark.

If the server responds but does a 404 or 500 error everything works like it should. You see the issue every 1 min. It goes to warn and then down 5 mins later.

If the server is completely down and you timeout it doesn't really check every 1 min. More like every 3 mins. So it takes like 15 mins before you really go to down and get the alert.

In the logs you can see on each attempt it tries several times. Not sure why since it's once every 60 sec not 5 times.
