Description: The number of the current host check retry. For instance, if this is the second time that the host is being rechecked, this will be the number two.

The host state as defined by the HOSTSTATEID macro

What is nHostAttempt?

Reports which retry attempt this host check represents, e.g. a value of 2 means this is the second recheck; it's mainly useful in event handlers that want to act differently depending on how many times a host has been rechecked.
