Is the trap service changing state, or always staying in one state when traps come in? If it never changes state, you will need to set isvolatile = 1 in your service definition so that all traps(check results) for this service are counted as a state change and you can begin getting notified for every one instead of just the initial one that changed it from OK to critical.

Edit: Is this actually the opposite of the original post, I thought you were getting too many notifications initially.
