The Proxmox host systems use around 0.5 to 1.5 GB, this varies greatly over time. Is there a way to limit this? I need the memory for the OpenVZ virtual machines and if I overbook the memory, for example I set a VM to 15.5 GB on a 16 GB machine, I get memory allocation errors in the VM.
Memory usage of the Proxmox itself

At the system status for a node in the Proxmox webinterface.
It states "Physical Memory (15.67GB/1.54GB)" and a OpenVZ VM is taking up 12GB so the 15.67GB free memory isn't correct but the 1.54GB sounds plausible for the memory used by the host environment. I'm not running any KVM VM's.

Try to run
# ps auxww
to see which processes are using the ram.
But anyways, it is not possible to limit host ram. But there is a solution to your problem - buy more RAM ;-)

For the machine I am using, it appeared that the memory problem was a case of
Going to "power off" the VMs and reboot to make sure I didn't break anything, but greater than 1.5Gb of memory used for just the logger seems... broken.
Decided to change loggers to sysklogd/klogd, and memory usage for the logger became
