based on the outputs of free and sar -r , your memory is used for page
cache in order to cache file data. This is normal , since operating
system uses all available memory for caching .(the free column is 2531
,so this means when a process needs memory , operating system will steal
this memory from the page cache. )
Again , your system seems idle, more info is needed.
