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
