Use this command:

sudo rabbitmqctl status

and look for line that looks like this:

{rabbit,"RabbitMQ","2.6.1"},

I got this instead on Archlinux - [{rabbit,34362},{rabbitmqctl23794,40359}] though I installed rabbitmq 3.1.3-1 :) – Sian Lerk Lau Dec 03 '13 at 06:18

And if rabbitmq services are stopped? It doesn't works. How can I retrieve version of a "shut down" rabbitmq? – andPat Jul 29 '15 at 14:00

In Windows this is very similar. "C:\Program Files\RabbitMQ Server\rabbitmq_server-3.6.5\sbin\rabbitmqctl status" Folder name may vary with your version of Rabbit. – dylanT Nov 10 '16 at 23:58

You can simply execute from the command line:

sudo rabbitmqctl status | grep rabbit

Maybe the format has changed - as of version `3.8.4`, a better search string is `sudo rabbitmqctl status | grep -i "version"`. – Janos May 31 '20 at 17:45

If rabbitimq can not start I found the only way to determine version is via installer system.

Eample Debian/Ubuntu:

dpkg -s rabbitmq-server | grep Version

If you have no access to rabbitmqctl or rabbitmq-server is not running, on linux do :

ls /usr/lib/rabbitmq/lib/

I got :

rabbitmq_server-3.5.6

As Marek said on a local server, or, on a remote server (using amqplib):

from amqplib import client_0_8 as amqp
import sys

conn = amqp.Connection(host=sys.argv[1], userid="guest", password="guest", virtual_host="/", insist=False)

for k, v in conn.server_properties.items():
    print k, v

Save as checkVersion.py and run with python checkVersion.py dev.rabbitmq.com:

% python checkVersion.py dev.rabbitmq.com

This worked for me but wonly with Python3 and I had to create checkVersion.py under the folder client_0_8 (in windows) — Arundale Ramanathan, Jan 18 '20 at 10:51

On debian systems, you can just run:

dpkg-query --showformat='${Version}' --show rabbitmq-server

To get RabbitMQ version using the .NET/C# RabbitMQ Client Library:

using (var connection = connectionFactory.CreateConnection())
{
    if (connection.ServerProperties.ContainsKey("version"))
        Console.WriteLine("Version={0}",
            Encoding.UTF8.GetString((byte[])connection.ServerProperties["version"]));
}

Output:

Version=3.6.3

Since I was looking to do this in C# on a Windows machine and all the current answers are for *nix, I'll post the code that I ended up using:

public string GetRabbitMqVersion()
{
    string prefix = "rabbitmq_server-";
    var dirs = System.IO.Directory.EnumerateDirectories(@"C:\Program Files (x86)\RabbitMQ Server", string.Format("{0}*",prefix));

    foreach (var dir in dirs)
    {
        //Just grab the text after 'rabbitmq_server-' and return the first item found
        var i = dir.LastIndexOf(prefix);
        return dir.Substring(i+16);
    }
    return "Unknown";
}

In the likely event you're using the "management" (web) plug-in, the RabbitMQ version appears in the upper-right corner of every web page, along with the version of the Erlang run-time.

I use following command to trim output down to version,

rabbitmqctl status | grep "{rabbit,\"RabbitMQ\""

Login to management ui and in top right you can find the version. Also use the following command to find the version

# sudo bash

# rabbitmqctl status | grep rabbit
