Slow Query Log Not Logging

Good afternoon,

we are trying to have access to our slow query log file at “/var/log/mysql/localhost-slow.log” but it looks like the file is empty. The “my.cnf” file says “!includedir /etc/my.cnf.d”, and inside that directory we have the following files:

mysql-clients.cnf;
server.cnf;
tokudb.cnf;

Looking at the “server.cnf” file it looks like it’s set properly to write slow queries logs:

#
# These groups are read by MariaDB server.
# Use it for options that only the server (but not clients) should see
#
# See the examples of server my.cnf files in /usr/share/mysql/
#

# this is read by the standalone daemon and embedded servers
[server]

# this is only for the mysqld standalone daemon
[mysqld]
slow-query-log = 1
slow-query-log-file = /var/log/mysql/localhost-slow.log
long_query_time = 1
log-queries-not-using-indexes
# this is only for embedded server
[embedded]

# This group is only read by MariaDB-5.5 servers.
# If you use the same .cnf file for MariaDB of different versions,
# use this group for options that older servers don't understand
[mysqld-5.5]

# These two groups are only read by MariaDB servers, not by MySQL.
# If you use the same .cnf file for MySQL and MariaDB,
# you can put MariaDB-only options here
[mariadb]

[mariadb-5.5]

Any idea on what could be the issue? We’ve tried to add the following:

[mysqld]
slow-query-log = 1
slow-query-log-file = /var/log/mysql/localhost-slow.log
long_query_time = 1
log-queries-not-using-indexes

directly into my.cnf and then restarting through service mysql restart but it didn’t work?

Thanks in advance for any help.
