libvirt QEMU driver already has logging support for recording all the data
it both sends and receives over QMP, which should be sufficient for any
day to day troubleshooting of QMP issues. So I doubt duplicating that
info from QEMU side too is really beneficial for debugging issues when
libvirt is in use.
In libvirtd set
log_filters="1:qemu_monitor"
and it'll capture everything on the QMP monitor in the default libvirtd
log file.
The QMP data is also fed into the libvirt tracing backend, so you can
write systemtap scripts that hook on any QMP message, reply or event.
We ship a sample monitoring script examples/systemtap/qemu-monitor.stp
for this too.

Daniel
