# RenderPipelineManager

> Static class that manages the currently active Render Pipeline.

## Definition

* **Type:** Class
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine.Rendering](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/rendering.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.CoreModule

```csharp
public static class RenderPipelineManager
```

## Remarks

The RenderPipelineManager provides access to the currently active [RenderPipeline](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/rendering/renderpipeline.md) instance. It also provides a way to subscribe to various events related to the life cycle of the Render Pipeline.

The following example illustrates how RenderPipelineManager can be used to check if a SRP is currently active.

```csharp
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering;

public class RenderPipelineManagerExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    public void Update()
    {
        if (RenderPipelineManager.currentPipeline != null) {
            Debug.Log("A scriptable render pipeline is active");
        } else {
            Debug.Log("Built-in render pipeline is active");
        }
    }
}
```
