VUE Element Manager
Last Updated: July 07, 2026

The VUE Element Manager (EM) is a UI for configuring, managing, and monitoring VUE pipes and OOBM pipes. You can also manage VUE servers and input streams through the EM.

VUE servers in a provider network handle VUE pipes. A pipe is a virtual container that processes multiple SPTS/MPTS input streams and produces a single MPTS output stream. Each VUE server manages multiple VUE pipes and OOBM pipes.

NOTE: By default, a user session logs out after 5 minutes of inactivity. When this occurs, you should see a message informing you that the session has timed out and prompting you to log in again. If you return to a VUE session after significant time has passed and you are unable to view data as expected, log out and log back in. A Keycloak administrator can configure the user session time out period for each VUE user.
