Deployment

PreviousUse CasesNextQtap

Last updated 4 days ago

Qpoint provides deep visibility into your service connections, helping you discover, monitor, and analyze all your internal and external API dependencies. You can deploy the Qtap Agent in two different ways depending on your needs and environment.

Which Option Should You Choose?

Choose Qtap Local Deployment if you want to:

  • Quickly try Qpoint without creating an account

  • Test in an isolated or air-gapped environment

  • Experiment with minimal setup

Choose Qplane if you want to:

  • Manage configurations centrally across multiple environments

  • Access advanced analytics and beautiful dashboards

  • Monitor multiple deployments from a single interface

  • Share visibility with team members

System Requirements

Both deployment options require:

  • Linux host with kernel 5.10+

  • Proper permissions for eBPF operations

See System Requirements for more details.

Need Help Deciding?

If you're unsure which option is right for you, we recommend starting with the Local Deployment to quickly see Qpoint in action. You can always switch to Cloud-Connected later if you need the additional features.

Local Deployment

  • No account required

  • Immediate visibility

  • Self-contained

  • Great for testing

Qplane Managed

  • Centralized control plane

  • Beautiful Dashboards

  • Advanced analytics

  • Multi-environment visibility
