System Requirements

Preflight Check

If you'd like to verify your environment's compatibility, use the following script:

curl -sSL https://github.com/qpoint-io/preflight/releases/latest/download/preflight.sh | sudo bash

Operating System Requirements

• Linux-based operating system

• Supports both x86_64 and arm64 architectures

• Kernel version 5.10 or higher

System Configuration

Kernel Settings

• Kernel lockdown mode should be set to none (default on most systems)

• Cgroups v2 enabled (default on most modern Linux distributions)

Network Requirements

Local Network:

• At least one network interface with outbound network access

Cloud Connectivity:

Cloud-connected mode requires outbound connectivity to:

• Control Plane: api.qpoint.io (TCP 443/HTTPS)

• Event Store: api-pulse.qpoint.io (TCP 443/HTTPS)

Ensure your firewall allows these connections for Qtap agents.

No inbound connections required: Qtap agents only make outbound connections to Qplane. No ports need to be opened for inbound traffic.

Access Requirements

• Root access for installation

• Read-write filesystem access

Resource Requirements

• Sufficient memory for BPF operations

• Storage space for logs and configuration
