20.25. Taking a Screenshot of the Guest Console
The
virsh screenshot guestname [imagefilepath] command takes a screenshot of a current guest virtual machine console and stores it into a file. If no file path is provided, the screenshot is saved to the current directory. If the hypervisor supports multiple displays for a guest virtual machine, use the --screen screenID option to specify the screen to be captured.
