Getting a Virtual Machine’s IP Address from virsh

Ten Years later, and I finally know how to get virsh to tell me the IP address for a VM.

So, I have a virtual machine image called cfme. To launch it, I run

sudo virsh start cfme

That gets me a running virtual machine. To find the domain ID that it has been assigned:

$ sudo virsh list
 Id Name State
----------------------------------------------------
 1 cfme running

And to Find Its IP Address I use the domifaddr subcommand:

$ sudo virsh domifaddr 1
 Name MAC address Protocol Address
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 vnet0 52:54:00:e5:5d:e3 ipv4 192.168.122.98/24

From which I can see that the address is 192.168.122.98

Wish I knew this years ago.  Ah well.  Better late then never.

Thanks to Kamil Páral and this blog post for showing me the way:
