+### rabbitmq\_erlang\_cookie
+
+This is essentially a private type used by the rabbitmq::config class
+to manage the erlang cookie. It replaces the rabbitmq_erlang_cookie fact
+from earlier versions of this module. It manages the content of the cookie
+usually located at /var/lib/rabbitmq/.erlang.cookie, which includes
+stopping the rabbitmq service and wiping out the database at
+/var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia if the user agrees to it. We don't recommend using
+this type directly.

 ##Limitations
