I can't quite tell what you are looking for here is what i think you are asking for. Host is not overcommited, Host memory usage is practically equal to guest allocation plus a little bit more because of overhead. This would be a correct assumption. From the screenshot above as an example if you are using Windows OS as guests then what happens is Windows touches all it's memory on boot up which is why you will see guest memory consuming all of the memory allocated to it. Since your host is not overcommitted and has plenty of memory to spare it will not try and reclaim any of those resources from those guests. Hence why your Host consumed memory is always showing very close to what your allocated memory is. Does this make sense? Let me know if this answers your question.
