Question about Monitor

Hello, is it possible to synthesize the "monitors" on the altera fpgas'. There are Monitor IPs such as Avalon MM Monitor. Can I synthesize such "Monitors"?

There are no internal tri-states. Synthesis can sometimes recode bidirectionals into muxing logic, assuming the solution is obvious. It's generally advised to avoid internal tri-states, since they don't really exist in hardware.
