I currently have active monitoring going, and let me say it works great!
By running some packet captures and walking the tree I have come to the following conclusion regarding the behavior.

If a condition of a monitor is met (threshold or absolute) the ErrorFlag associated with the entry that is being monitored is changed. A snmp trap is sent when the ErrorFlag is set to 1. When the monitor refreshes after it's set interval and the condition has not changed (i.e. ErrorFlag still at 1) a new trap is not sent.

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the behavior of the agent so that it will send a new trap even is the ErrorFlag has not changed? I would guess that this is a "feature" to prevent spamming of the snmp trap receiver, but in my case I need to spam it every time the monitor is evaluated. 

Thanks!
