No, libvirt uses readline's history infrastructure which does not record
timestamps with the entries. This is similar to for example bash_history
which also does not record history.

Also note that non-interactive use of virsh (e.g. 'virsh start DOMNAME')
is not recorded at all in virsh's history file.

In this case it's way better to look at the libvirtd log files which
should contain log entries for any operation.
