+rotate_logs [suffix]
+ instruct the RabbitMQ node to rotate the log files. The RabbitMQ
+ broker will attempt to append the current contents of the log file
+ to the file with the name composed of the original name and the
+ suffix. It will create a new file if such a file does not already
+ exist. When no I<suffix> is specified, the empty log file is
+ simply created at the original location; no rotation takes place.
+ When an error occurs while appending the contents of the old log
+ file, the operation behaves in the same way as if no I<suffix> was
+ specified.
+ This command might be helpful when you are e.g. writing your own
+ logrotate script and you do not want to restart the RabbitMQ node.
