How about every 10secs whilst having 3x? This would still be the same time as 15secs 2x but an extra check for good measure. Again, and I have to refer to Chris' post here, the timeouts need to be tailored to application response times. If the app needs 15secs or more then go with what the PM asks, no point configuring a monitor interval lower that's going to struggle to be a success.
