Have a look at "External Command Detail: PROCESS_HOST_CHECK_RESULT"

You are missing the timestamp, a semicolon and i don't know wether DOWN
as a status is accepted (i use the numeric status codes 012).

So rather it should be

[<timestamp>] PROCESS_HOST_CHECK_RESULT;Internet;1;TRAP: PPP LCP Closed
