I believe SmartView Monitor can be configured to do this.
See: https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R81.10/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R81.10_LoggingAndMonitoring_AdminGuide/Topics-LMG/SmartView-Monitor-Features.htm?tocpath=Monitoring%20Traffic%20and%20Connections%7C_____3

SmartView Monitor is great to view live and historic data, I think you can also filter by IPs.

If you have SmartEvent server you can use SmartView for a more complete view.

If you have SmartView, make sure relevant rules has tracking options include sessions and accounting.

Attached here is a link for traffic distribution users I made for SmartView:
