Hop count check in host monitor

Is it possible to do a check based on hop count in Host Monitor?
Since we use new routers we can no longer use the Trace Test.

We need to see if an office is connected via our backup system or via the main system. We can now only see this based on the hop count.

Yes, Trace test can do that

Since we use new routers we can no longer use the Trace Test.

Why? Because your router configured to drop ICMP packets?
In this case impossible to calculate hops.
