Hi,

I plan to use KVM internal network 'default' and grep dhcp log to figure out the IP address that assigned to my VM.

I know I can configure static ip but I like to assign ip dynamically to avoid mgmt cost.

Does anyone know where the dhcp log is? My KVM host is running Ubuntu Raring (13.04). It does not have file /var/log/daemon.log as some online doc mentioned.

Thanks, ~Jianfeng

Hi, this is the area that is somewhat actively worked on. The leases file is located under /var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.leases, however I'd strongly recommend using libvirt API for that: virsh net-dhcp-leases default BTW: it's not KVM's default network. The network is created and managed by libvirt ;-) Michal
