It's a separate, paid-for download.

Is there an alternative software or method to access the fpga's internals while running?  I am thinking of a kind of core in native vhdl or verilog to be placed into any design and porting data to the PC somehow.

There is nothing stopping you writing a block that monitors a whole bunch of signals, formats them, and outputs them from the FPGA via whatever interface type is convenient for you to receive the data. It will be a lot of effort, however. And that is why most professional users will pay for ChipScope...
