The Challenge

The Modern Cloud is Encrypted & Distributed, creating a Critical Visibility Gap

Encryption makes it impossible to see what's happening between your applications, services, and AI agents and the external APIs, services, and vendors they communicate with.

The Solution

Deploy a lightweight eBPF agent that introspects calls before encryption occurs

Unlike traditional proxies Qtap does not sit in the network path or require certificate management! This provides detailed visibility into requests and responses without affecting the encryption process, and requires zero configuration changes to applications or network.

Key Benefits

No Proxy Required

Works directly with your existing infrastructure

No Code Changes

Zero application modifications needed

Use Existing Pipeline

Integrates seamlessly with current tools

Extremely Performant

Minimal performance impact, in-kernel

Non-Obtrusive

Doesn't interfere with normal operations

No Certificate Management

Eliminates complex SSL/TLS configuration

How It Works

1.

Install QTap
eBPF Agent

QTap sees the pre-encryption request and post-encryption responses via eBPF hooks

2.

Detect Errors / Custom Conditions

Configure Rulekit to look for errors or specific conditions you might want to record

3.

Persist the
Payloads / Data

Upload payload data to S3 compatible endpoint

4.

Submit Log
Entry

Generate log entry with all the context & links to the persisted payloads

Example: Capture Errored Requests and Payloads

Use QTap to find problems, see where they occur, and view the full request/response payloads.
