libvirt/virsh: How to list all domains/VMs with their IP addresses
New method (recommended)
virsh net-dhcp-leases default
Example output:
Expiry Time MAC address Protocol IP address Hostname Client ID or DUID
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2025-02-05 02:11:17 4c:68:29:d5:aa:55 ipv4 192.168.122.73/24 abcdefghi-vm01 ff:b5:5e:67:ff:00:02:00:00:ab:11:53:fb:4f:97:fb:ea:c5:13
2025-02-05 02:06:19 52:54:00:12:34:56 ipv4 192.168.122.76/24 test1234-vm ff:40:56:63:a2:00:02:00:00:ab:11:39:d1:c8:61:96:3d:82:64
Old method (not recommended):
#!/bin/bash
# List all active domains
domains=$(virsh list --name | grep -v '^$')
echo "Domain Name IP Address"
echo "-------------------------"
for domain in $domains; do
# Fetch the IP address of the domain
ip=$(virsh domifaddr "$domain" --source agent | awk '/ipv4/ {print $4}' | cut -d'/' -f1)
# Fallback if no IP from guest agent
if [ -z "$ip" ]; then
ip=$(virsh domifaddr "$domain" | awk '/ipv4/ {print $4}' | cut -d'/' -f1)
fi
echo -e "$domain\t$ip"
done
Example output
Domain Name IP Address
-------------------------
test-vm 192.168.122.100
web-server 192.168.122.101
