Foreman - goferd.service takes huge amounts of RAM

When having a huge amount of hosts, qpidd might not allocate enough connections for all hosts which then leads to goferd consuming huge amounts of ram over time. A possible solution is to increase the number of max-connections on the foreman server
 [archy@katello01 ~]$ sudo vim /etc/qpid/qpidd.conf  
 max-connections = 966  
 [archy@katello01 ~]$ sudo systemctl restart qpidd.service  
The value of max-connections is calculated using this formula:
(amount of hosts * 2) + (amount on inter-satellite connections * 100) = max-connections
