MariaDB

Where MariaDB keeps its logs

MariaDB logs to /var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log on Linux.

Paths are printed exactly as MariaDB writes them. Environment variables like %LOCALAPPDATA% and $XDG_STATE_HOME are never expanded, so a path can be pasted straight into a shell. Where a path differs between installer types or shipping flavours, each one is racked as its own card below - why that happens.
