How to view error logs generated by mariadb on CentOS 7 - mysql

Question

I am new to mariadb. Today, I was attempting to import a mysql database to mariadb and during the process the import stops when a warning is encountered as shown below.
Now, I said to myself that I should check a log file so I can see the error but I can't seem to fine any log file. I ran the query below with help from Get the error log of Mariadb:
As you can see there is no path to an error log file.
Next I checked /var/lib/mysql and below is the dir content:
-rw-rw----. 1 mysql mysql 16384 Jun 5 16:03 aria_log.00000001
-rw-rw----. 1 mysql mysql 52 Jun 5 16:03 aria_log_control
-rw-rw----. 1 mysql mysql 79691776 Jun 8 08:02 ibdata1
-rw-rw----. 1 mysql mysql 50331648 Jun 8 08:02 ib_logfile0
-rw-rw----. 1 mysql mysql 50331648 Jun 5 16:03 ib_logfile1
-rw-rw----. 1 mysql mysql 6 Jun 5 16:12 IMSPRO.pid
drwx------. 2 mysql mysql 4096 Jun 8 08:02 ecommence
-rw-rw----. 1 mysql mysql 0 Jun 5 16:12 multi-master.info
drwx--x--x. 2 mysql mysql 4096 Jun 5 16:03 mysql
srwxrwxrwx. 1 mysql mysql 0 Jun 5 16:12 mysql.sock
drwx------. 2 mysql mysql 20 Jun 5 16:03 performance_schema
-rw-rw----. 1 mysql mysql 24576 Jun 5 16:12 tc.log
No file in the above dir logs error.
Below is the content of my /etc/my.cnf
#
# This group is read both both by the client and the server
# use it for options that affect everything
#
[client-server]
#
# include all files from the config directory
#
!includedir /etc/my.cnf.d
Below is the content of /etc/my.cnf.d
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 117 Jun 5 16:02 .
drwxr-xr-x. 91 root root 8192 Jun 7 01:14 ..
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 295 May 29 16:48 client.cnf
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 763 May 29 16:48 enable_encryption.preset
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 232 May 29 16:48 mysql-clients.cnf
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1080 May 29 16:48 server.cnf
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 285 May 29 16:48 tokudb.cnf
What can I do to get error log?

Answer 1

The way to see the warnings is to type this immediately after receiving that "Warnings: 1":
SHOW WARNINGS;
(As soon as the next other command is run, the warnings are cleared.)

Answer 2

In mariadb version 10.3.29,
#show variables like 'log-error';
is showing "Empty set" output
Instead, the following command is working
show global variables like 'log_error';

Answer 3

In my case, I edited /etc/my.cnf and added the line log_error after [mysqld]:
[mysqld]
...
log_error
After that, the query show variables like 'log_error'; displays the following (before the change, the Value column was empty):
+---------------+--------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+--------------------------+
| log_error | /var/lib/mysql/host.err |
+---------------+--------------------------+
Now the error log is being written to the above file.
The exact name of the file will vary from server to server and will take the name of the current host, so expect it to be different in your particular case.
