I don't believe the purge script exists in Zenoss 5. I ended up deleting all of my queues and recreating them using the steps listed here:
Working with Queues - Zenoss Wiki

Zenoss		remove preview
Working with Queues - Zenoss Wiki zenoss stop $ sudo su - # become root # export VHOST="/zenoss" # export USER="zenoss" # export PASS="zenoss" # replace it with $amqppassword from $ZENHOME/etc/global.conf, if needed # rabbitmqctl stop_app # rabbitmqctl reset # rabbitmqctl start_app # rabbitmqctl add_vhost $VHOST # rabbitmqctl add_user "$USER" "$PASS" # rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p "$VHOST" "$USER" '.*' '.*' '.*' # rabbitmqctl -p $VHOST list_queues # check if all queues exist # exit # back to zenoss user $ zenoss start View this on Zenoss >

There is a section on recreating rabbitmq in the below link as well and it's more focused on Zenoss 5.

I can find the zenq utility provided you attach to the RabbitMQ container as the zenoss user:

serviced service attach RabbitMQ su zenoss -l

zenq --help                         gives you usage

zenq purge zenoss.queues.zep.rawevents    should delete all events in that queue

Not actually tried the purge on a Zenoss 5 system so please let me know if it works (preferably having taken a backup / snapshot).

Cheers,
Jane
