I'm running Foreman 1.12.4 with Katello 3.1.0 on RHEL 7 with about 350
hosts running RHEL 5, 6, and 7 attached.
I've noticed that no hosts have applicable errata, and never have. The
content views show thousands of errata, and I can manually dig in and find
updated packages with attached errata that are not installed on the clients.
Googling around for this problem, I found some old references to problems
with candlepin, and when I look I found that I'm getting these messages:

Some of the messages suggested looking at the qpid queue to see if events
are backing up:
qpid-stat --ssl-certificate /etc/pki/katello/qpid_client_striped.crt -b
amqps://$(hostname -f):5671 -q | grep katello_event_queue
katello_event_queue
Y 15.9k 15.9k 0 99.8m 99.8m 0
0 2
The number of messages is slowly climbing, and never seems to decrease. In
my test server, I see 1 consumer of the katello_event_queue, but have never
seen one on the production server. The "Listen on candlepin events" task is
in the running state. I've restarted the katello services (and the server)
several times with no difference is results.
Is there any way to kick katello to get the errata mapping working?
