Fiddeling around with kvm again I wanted to use the monitor but on an instance that run with "-display non" cause I run it from the command line. Maybe one can access the monitor from VNC or SPICE I don't know but I found the option to redirect the monitor to a socket or any other network device. I went for a socket like this
