I see in the man pages that it is possible to do a traceroute if the conn test fails. Is it also possible to always do a traceroute? And maybe even get yellow if it exeeds a certain number of hops?
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.
