Magic built in not tacked on later!!

trace
     If the connectivity test fails, run a "traceroute" and include the output
     from this in the status message from the failed connectivity test. Note:
     For this to work, you may have to define the TRACEROUTE environment
     variable, see xymonserver.cfg(5)

Is that what you are looking for?
