 Description   

When searching for the aria_log_dir_path option the only match in the KB documentation is on the aria_read_log utility page.

The actual server option is nowhere mentioned even though it exists and works.

It is not listed (anymore, see MDEV-17691) on the Aria System Variables page, as it is an option with no related system variable (making its value inaccessible from SQL ... different story).

Aria System Variables page links to "Aria Options", but that links to #aria-options "mysqld Options" page, which does not (or not anymore) have such a section.

It is actually documented at mysqld-options/#-aria-log-dir-path
Probably you could not find it because by convention, options use '-', which variables use '_', and the fact that the heading changed, breaking the deep link, which is now fixed.

FYI, https://mariadb.com/kb/en/full-list-of-mariadb-options-system-and-status-variables/ is a page listing all options and variables, so is usually easiest to search.

Weird, I am pretty sure I had searched https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mysqld-options/ for both variants, but did not find anything. I even searched HTML source, just in case ... :o
