📝 Describe your problem

I would like the possibility to lower the heartbeat interval when a monitor is marked as DOWN.
For example, here I have an Interval of 30 min betweens checks and 60 sec x 3 on pending. But as soon as it is marked as DOWN, it checks every 30 min again, can we change that behaviour?

It's useful if I don't want to “spam” our websites with checks, but I want to be able to be notified as soon as I want when a monitor is back up

So it would be, for example:

Check every 30 min if UP
Check every 30 sec if PENDING and max 3 times
Check every 5 min if DOWN

Thank you 👍
