[Xymon] tcp traceroute

One thing you could do is

loop down the board with bbhostgrep looking for http* when you find an httptest, query the board for status on http and conn which looks something like $BB $BBDISP "xymondboard host=$host test=http* fields=color"`

then if http is not green,see if conn is green then call your custom traceroute test.

you'll have to have an else clause that puts a status into your test so it doesn't go purple. OR you could just call it for every host with http and do the right thing when conn is down. Might be useful to gather metrics that way too.
