How to get guest's IP address from Host server in KVM virtualization?

Question

I used kvm as a hypervisor and I have some virtual machines on it. I can to ssh to the host (hypervisor server) and I want to get all virtual machines' IP addresses.

Is there any way to get the virtual machines' IP addresses by virt tool or other commands like this?

That answer isn't work for me. It used arp -e , but this solution is not comprehensive! — Omidreza Bagheri, Jun 24 '18 at 15:44
What language are you working in? Libvirt has language bindings for dozens of languages. — Michael Hampton, Jul 27 '18 at 13:59

Try this commands from the console of the host machine:

# virsh list --all
Get the VM names from this list

Now for each VM name do the following:

# virsh domiflist *VMname*
Get the MAC of the VM machine

# arp -e 
Find the IP address

Ping the hostname from the KVM host and you can get the IPS address.
