Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/abh/ntppool/issues/23

The monitor nodes should be able to do a traceroute when a node is down.

First thing to do for this is to have a bit of perl code that can parse the 'mtr --raw' format and format it pretty with perl/template toolkit code.

(After that we can build the monitors to understand a "do a traceroute" request and the central system to know when to ask the monitors to do a traceroute and archive the result).

From the mtr documentation:



The "raw" format is:

hostline|pingline|dnsline|timestampline

hostline:
h <pos> <host IP>

pingline:
p <pos> <pingtime (ms)>

dnsline: 
d <pos> <hostname>

timestampline:
t <pos> <pingtime> <timestamp>


Timestampline is not  yet implemented. Need to find out how to do
ICMP timestamping first. :-)
