This is what I have in my monitrc, and it works :

### rabbitmq-server
check process rabbitmq-server with pidfile /var/run/rabbitmq
     start program "/etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server start"
     stop program "/etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server stop"
     if failed port 6163 type tcp then restart
     if 3 restarts within 3 cycles then timeout

Afaik, responsibility for the creation of the pidfile rests with the 
control script (ex. init.d), so you should look there for the location 
of the pidfile on your platform.
