Description Dave Allan 2011-05-02 13:09:43 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #691830 +++

RFE: Add support to libvirt API (and virsh) for taking a screenshot of current guest console.

Use case : Allow management application to take screenshot of VM to use as a preview for various management actions.

Exporting the screenshot in the currently supported qemu PPM format would be acceptable

Comment 2 Dave Allan 2011-05-02 14:47:08 UTC

Dor requested that the libvirt BZ be cloned to qemu-kvm to request that the HMP
command to generate a screenshot be ported to QMP.

Comment 5 Markus Armbruster 2011-06-10 07:09:45 UTC

Need to backport commit f1dc58e0 and maybe commit e34b12ae.

Comment 6 Markus Armbruster 2011-06-10 15:43:30 UTC

Bug 705070 asks for __com.redhat__qxl_screendump.  Do we need upstream QMP command screendump in addition to that?

Comment 7 Dave Allan 2011-06-10 16:11:45 UTC

That works for me; I'm closing this BZ as a dup of that.
