We're running RabbitMQ and the .log it's writing to the log folder get quiet large.
What's the right thing to do there, can we just delete it from time to time, should we rotate them away and then delete them? I fail to find any documentation on this.

RabbitMQ Debian and RPM packages will set up logrotate to run weekly on files located in default /var/log/rabbitmq directory. Rotation configuration can be found in /etc/logrotate. d/rabbitmq-server.
RabbitMQ nodes do not use old log files so if you are sure you don't need them, feel free to delete or archive them. Using the cmd #rabbitmqctl rotate_logs . 1 allows you to remove the currently used log file, however i need to remove all older logs in the same directoy.
Rotating the logs is pretty much the only thing you can do you can use the rotate scheduler to keep them under control.
rabbitmqctl rotate_logs
If you are looking for a different alternative to the plain old log file in rabbitmq, Sematext.com has an excellent log aggregator service that will store, filter, and manage your logs.
