The present solution is directed to systems and methods for providing, by a device intermediary to a plurality of clients and one or more servers, analytics on a stream of network packets traversing the device. The systems and methods include the device identifying, while the device manages network traffic between the plurality of clients and the one or more servers, a stream of network packets, from a plurality of streams of network packets of the network traffic traversing the device, corresponding to a flow identifier, e.g., a selected one of an internet protocol address, a uniform resource locator or an application identifier. The systems and methods may include a collector of the analytics engine collecting, while the device manages network traffic, metrics on the identified stream of network packets and generating one or more stream objects that comprise the collected metrics.
