Alternatively, sending the metric data off entirely to a different package, which can reinject an alert into xymon if/when it notices a trend, is an easily-approachable option using the RRD --processor option, which can fork your metric feed off to whatever you like (OpenTSDB, graphite, splunk, etc...). The re-posting of alerts back into xymon can be done with that package's notification tool set and some scripting of xymon messages.
This seems like the "Xymonish" way to do this.
Attempting to embed cross-host, historic-metric, and trending analysis seems to stray pretty far from the Big Brother/Xymon tradition. "Give me a red/yellow/green message and I'll put it a web page and send an email to whomever you have specified." (See my sig-line)
