Description

There is no error log file on fresh installation of MariaDB 10.3 on Ubuntu Server 18.04. Syslog is used instead. Is possible to add support for syslog?

Current status:

-------- Log file Recommendations ------------------------------------------------------------------ [--] Log file: /var/lib/mysql/manitu.err(0B) [!!] Log file /var/lib/mysql/manitu.err doesn't exist [!!] Log file /var/lib/mysql/manitu.err isn't readable.

All logged messages can be found with command cat /var/log/syslog | grep "mysqld"
