No, libvirt expects that the caller knows what job it started. All jobs
currently reported using virDomainGetJobStats API or
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_JOB_COMPLETED event are internally implemented as
migration in QEMU driver (either to a file or to a network socket),
which may confuse any heuristics for detecting the job type from the set
of fields returned by libvirt.

What is the problem you are trying to solve?
