Why do you want to send three copies of every notification
to the same trap receiver?

It means that the agent and "snmptrapd" are working fine.
The command-line tool "snmptrap" is not relevant here - that is an
alternative mechanism for sending traps.
   But the agent is generating traps quite happily - three at a time!

Try with   "localhost:162" instead of just "localhost".

I presume you are running this on the same machine as the trap receiver
(10.0.0.4), rather than the system with the SNMP agent (10.0.0.1)

Not by itself, no.
Please see the snmpd.conf(5) man page - in particular, the section
headed ACTIVE MONITORING.
