Introduction

VectorFlow is a visual pipeline management platform for Vector, the high-performance observability data pipeline. It gives teams a web-based UI for designing, deploying, and monitoring Vector pipelines across an entire fleet of nodes -- no hand-edited TOML required.

Why VectorFlow?

Observability pipelines are critical infrastructure, yet managing them usually means juggling config files across dozens of servers. VectorFlow replaces that workflow with a centralized control plane:

• Visual Pipeline Editor -- Drag-and-drop sources, transforms, and sinks onto a canvas. The editor generates valid Vector configuration automatically.
• Fleet Management -- Enroll agents on every node and push pipeline updates from a single dashboard. See which agents are online, what they are running, and roll back instantly.
• Multi-Environment Support -- Maintain separate development, staging, and production environments. Promote pipelines through your deployment lifecycle with confidence.
• VRL Snippet Testing -- Write and test Vector Remap Language transforms interactively before they reach production.
• Real-Time Metrics -- Monitor throughput, error rates, and pipeline health at a glance.
• Alerting -- Define alert rules so you know the moment a pipeline degrades.
