What log entries were you expecting to see during the 5 days since the 
log was rolled to .1? ? AMQP connect/disconnect events?

Did the log rotation work fine previously?

One thing to try is performing a manual log rotation with

   sudo mv /var/log/rabbitmq/<node>.log /var/log/rabbmitq/<node>.bak
   sudo /etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server rotate-logs

and then do something that normally results in a log entry, e.g. 
establish an AMQP connection. That *should* re-create the .log file, 
containing the expected entry.
