Thanks for your reply.
My qemu version is qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.The key problem is, qemu-kvm process memory
usage(RSS) always increases no matter how much memory used in guset vm.
for example, qemu-kvm process rss is 2.3g in host machine,
but free output in vm shows only 151MB
My question is :
1. Why qemu-kvm doesn't release physical memory ?2. How to monitor real memory usage
in guest vm?
Sincerely.

why not using collectd with the libvirt plugin on your host. It will
colect the info, and then you just have to display with rrdtool

Hi All
Is there a tool to monitor qemu-kvm guest vm memory usage ( free in
guest vm)?
Nowadays, I have already researched some methods:
1. qemu-kvm process memory usage.
Since qemu-kvm process memory usage always increases as time goes
on, it will not reflect the memory usage in vm.
2. virsh dommemstat
Just as method 1.
3. virsh qemu-monitor-command --hmp [domain name] "info mem"
(1) when guest vm memory size less than 4Gbytes, it will output
something like this:
7f882000-7f883000 00001000 urw
7fbf8000-7fbf9000 00001000 urw
88000000-88001000 00001000 -rw
88002000-88003000 00001000 urw
88004000-88005000 00001000 urw
c9000000-c9001000 00001000 urw
e8bfe000-e8bff000 00001000 urw
ea000000-ea001000 00001000 urw
ffbfc000-ffbfd000 00001000 -rw
ffbfe000-ffbff000 00001000 urw
it shows pde info of PG_PRESENT_MASK, maybe has some
relation with guest vm memory usage.
(2) when guest vm memory size larger than 4Gbytes, it will
output noting.
Please help!!
