Is there anyway we could allow NetPath to work from any select device A to device B instead of always from the poller to device B? It would be nice to use it more dynamically.
You can install thr solarwinds agent on a machine and use Netpath from there

Yes, @HerrDoktor is correct, NetPath requires that the traffic originate from the "start" box, that is because it requires hearing back from the routers on the path, which there is no easy way to intercept or redirect that traffic. So, the code that does the NetPath has to actually be on the box that is the start of the path.
The only way to accomplish this at the moment is to run a SW agent on that box.
You guys are awesome, this will help a lot! It does seem the probe can only be a server as they don't have probes for network devices? That is still a big help.
@hansolo You are right. The probe is only for machines where you can install the agent. If the budget is tight, use a raspberry pi with the agent for this
Easy day, we have servers almost every where thers is a router. Thanks!
