Nesta página, descrevemos como fazer uma captura de tela de uma instância de
máquina virtual (VM, na sigla em inglês) usando a ferramenta de captura de tela da VM.
Fazer uma captura de tela de uma VM pode ajudar a resolver problemas de uma VM que não
está acessível. Por exemplo, uma VM pode não estar acessível se estiver inicializando
ou com uma imagem de disco corrompida.
Sistemas operacionais baseados no Windows
As capturas de tela da VM ajudam a resolver problemas nas conexões RDP com VMs do Windows,
identificando se a instância foi iniciada com sucesso. Para mais informações sobre
como solucionar problemas de conexão RDP, consulte Como solucionar problemas do
RDP.
Considerações sobre privacidade com clientes da área de trabalho remota
A ferramenta de captura de tela da VM usa o adaptador de exibição da VM para realizar
uma captura de tela da sessão do console local por meio de um cliente da área de trabalho remota.
Uma captura de tela por meio da sessão do console local pode registrar informações
confidenciais da área de trabalho ou do navegador do usuário.
Se você estiver preocupado com a exposição de informações confidenciais pela
captura de tela, configure o cliente da área de trabalho remota da seguinte maneira
para que ela não use a sessão do console local:
Configure a autenticação, caso ainda não tenha feito isso.
A autenticação é
o processo de verificação da sua identidade para acesso a serviços e APIs do Google Cloud .
Para executar códigos ou amostras de um ambiente de desenvolvimento local, autentique-se no
Compute Engine selecionando uma das seguintes opções:

Console
When you use the Google Cloud console to access Google Cloud services and
APIs, you don't need to set up authentication.
gcloud
Instale a CLI do Google Cloud.
Após a instalação,
inicialize a Google Cloud CLI executando o seguinte comando:
Na página Instâncias de VM, clique no nome da instância da qual
você quer realizar uma captura de tela.
Na página Detalhes da instância de VM, clique na guia Captura de tela.
Clique em Atualizar para gerar uma captura de tela da VM. Se você não
ativou uma exibição
virtual, o
consoleGoogle Cloud não mostra uma captura de tela.
VM_NAME: nome da VM para realizar uma captura de tela.
JPEG_FILENAME: nome de arquivo opcional do jpeg para a saída da captura de tela. Se você não especificar um nome de arquivo, os dados jpeg brutos serão enviados para a saída padrão (stdout).
ZONE: zona da VM para realizar uma captura de tela.

For example, a VM might not be accessible if it is booting\nor has a disk image that is corrupted.\n\nWindows-based operating systems\n\nVM screenshots can help to troubleshoot failed RDP connections to Windows VMs,\nby identifying if the instance has started successfully. For information about\ntroubleshooting RDP connections, see [Troubleshooting\nRDP](/compute/docs/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-rdp#vm-screenshot).\n\nPrivacy considerations with remote desktop clients\n\nThe VM screenshot tool uses the display adapter of the VM to capture a\nscreenshot of the local console session through a remote desktop client.\nCapturing a screenshot through the local console session might capture sensitive\ninformation from the user's desktop or browser.\n\nIf you are concerned about exposing sensitive information as part of a\nscreenshot, configure your respective remote desktop client in the following way\nso that it does not use the local console session:\n\n- [Chrome Remote Desktop](https://remotedesktop.google.com/): If you are using\n Chrome Remote Desktop, be sure to enable [Curtain\n mode](https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/2799701) so that it does\n not connect to the local console session.\n\n- [Microsoft RDP](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/remote-desktop-clients):\n RDP clients connect by using [Windows Remote Desktop Services\n (RDS)](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/welcome-to-rds). Windows RDS lets RDP clients choose whether to start a new\n console session or connect to the existing one, and because of this, there might\n be privacy implications. For information about customizing RDS so that it does\n not connect to the local console session, see [Supported Remote Desktop RDP file\n settings](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/rdp-files).\n\nBefore sharing screenshots with [Google\nSupport](https://cloud.google.com/support-hub), make sure to review them for\nsensitive information.\n\nBefore you begin\n\n- [Enable virtual displays on your VM](/compute/docs/instances/enable-instance-virtual-display).\n- If you haven't already, set up [authentication](/compute/docs/authentication).
