No.

Running traceroute is rather ressource-heavy, and I would
strongly advise against doing that on all hosts - if you have
more than a handful of systems you test, it can easily cause
your network tests to take longer than 5 minutes to complete,
and you won't be able to have your status updated as often as
one would like.
