More to the point, looking at the command line of any libvirt-created
guest, and you will see these four arguments (alongside all the others):

-chardev
socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/domain-XXX/monitor.sock,server,nowait
-mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control

which is the monitor.sock you are asking about, and the mode=control is
what tells you it is a QMP monitor socket.  (The qemu command line
argument '-qmp' is syntactic sugar for the longer paired -chardev/-mon
spelling used by libvirt.)
