In cwp, I see that MySQL Database Server is in Failed state

Try moving or removing the aria_log_control file, then start mariadb.

/var/lib/mysql/aria_log_control

Thanks for the post. I had a server that had an issue with it's database server. What can cause this issue with Aria ?

Magic
Well, something akin to it -- the brittle nature of some aspects of MariaDB/MySQL. I have had many problems with InnoDB along the way, so make sure you are keeping regular DB dumps (nightly) or you could be bitten by DB corruption.
