[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#818473: virt-manager: Please make the IP address of the VM visible in the manager or guest window

[Neil Williams]

Package: virt-manager
Version: 1:1.2.1-4
Severity: wishlist

The main thing missing from the Virtual Machine Manager windows is the IP
address of running VMs. The NIC is displayed and the MAC address, the
IP is available in /var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/virbr0.status but it would
be much better to have those details available in the frontend under
the virtual hardware details tab. Preferably under the Overview or
simply on the existing NIC section where the MAC address is shown.

This would make it much easier to ssh into the VM after starting it.
