Alternatively, sending the metric data off entirely to a different
package, which can reinject an alert into xymon if/when it notices a

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)
