To get more information about the snapshot you can issue

virsh snapshot-dumpxml STIGtest 1369421485

This returns a XML document describing the snapshot. The default 
snapshot name is a unix timestamp of the time when the snapshot was 
taken. The name can be set to any string at the time the snapshot is 
created:

virsh snapshot-create-as STIGtest snapshotname
