	No, and that's a good thing.  There is no reason to do what you want, other than to glue to misengineered monitoring systems, in which case you should write an application that receives the disman events to track the state and sends the nagifications.

	If you are not stuck with a receiving application that requires this, then you should do a little more study of management principles to learn why state-change-only is the correct thing to do.  If you are concerned about loss of state synchronization, SNMPv3 informs and/or the disman notifications MIB can achieve better synchronization than trap-spamming with much less resource use.


	HTH,

Mike
