Defaults to /var/log/rabbitmq. Log files generated by the server will be placed in this directory. To learn more, see the RabbitMQ Logging guide

RABBITMQ_NODENAME​

Defaults to "rabbit@". followed by the computed hostname. Can be used to run multiple nodes on the same host. Every node in a cluster must have a unique RABBITMQ_NODENAME To learn more, see the RabbitMQ Clustering guide
