Best way to monitor traffic between Two IPs in SolarWinds?

A fairly frequent request I am now getting goes along these lines:

I need to setup some monitoring between:

Source: 1.2.3.4
Destination: 6.7.8.9

For now, forget the tech behind these devices because they could be anything from physical servers to network kit to virtual devices, then what is the best approach to monitoring traffic between them?

If it helps - we have NPM and NetFlow which can be utilised.

If it is to get the traffic utilization and the type of traffic like protocol, application etc then I think NPM & Netflow can help provided flow can be enabled in the device end.

you can monitor the both Source and destination IP's in NTA. NTA flow source will helpful to you.

Thanks for the replies, but are you saying use any flow enabled device via the Flow Navigator or is there a better approach? Say using the one nearest the traffic ingress and egress or ...?

Additional query: is there a means with SolarWinds to do this for devices not flow enabled?
