Example
- General log - all queries - see VARIABLE general_log
- Slow log - queries slower than long_query_time - slow_query_log_file
- Binlog - for replication and backup - log_bin_basename
- Relay log - also for replication
- general errors - mysqld.err
- start/stop - mysql.log (not very interesting) - log_error
- InnoDB redo log - iblog*
See the variables basedir and datadir for default location for many logs
Some logs are turned on/off by other VARIABLES. Some are either written to a file or to a table.
(Note to reviewers: This needs more details and more explanation.)
Documenters: please include the default location and name for each log type, for both Windows and *nix. (Or at least as much as you can.)
