I installed rabbit via the generic unix tar because we don't have access to the normal OS package manager (one of the joys of being in a strict corporate env).<div><br></div><div>I got "rabbitmq-server start -detached" from the documentation (<a href="http://www.rabbitmq.com/install.html#running-generic-unix">http://www.rabbitmq.com/install.html#running-generic-unix</a>)</div>

The rabbit-sasl.log is 5MB but the last entry was from Oct 28. <br>

Right. So clearly something went wrong before that date since the sasl log should normally be empty.<div class="im"><br>

That's a strange way to start rabbit. Where did you get that from? How did you install rabbit? We generally recommend that people install rabbit from the package for their o/s and start/stop it using the appropriate system commands. On SuSe that should be s.t. like<br>
<br>
/sbin/service rabbitmq-server start<br>
<br>
(according to <a href="http://www.rabbitmq.com/install.html#rpm" target="_blank">http://www.rabbitmq.com/install.html#rpm</a> - I am not a SuSe expert)<br>
<br>
Though that doesn't quite explain why rabbit would die. Is there anything noteworthy in the system logs? Perhaps rabbit is being nuked by the infamous OOM Killer.<br><font color="#888888">
