I disagree.

Alya wants to know Ladybug's identity because she's a fan of Ladybug. She appreciates what Ladybug does for Paris and is wondering who she is. Alya is curious. (This is similar to how Paris sees her -- Ladybug is a superhero. The mayor himself thanks her for her service to Paris.)

Additionally, Alya already HAS kept secrets for Marinette! Marinette likes Adrien, and not only does Alya not inform Adrien of this, (she's friends with him, after all -- she easily could text him and make him aware) but she HELPS Marinette come to grips with her feelings for Adrien. And judging by how much better Mari's gotten around Adrien, I'd say those forced interactions Alya's setting Marinette up for are helping her quite a bit. (See Kung Food. If you're waiting for the English release it's in two weeks.)

If Alya finds out is or not anyone's guess. However, it wouldn't shock me if she does. And knowing Alya, I assume not only would she keep the secret, but she'd help make sure no one finds out. Alya has shown quite a few times that she cares more about Marinette than "exposing the truth" (the above being the biggest example).

Assuming she does discover Ladybug's true face, Alya will have come to a crossroad -- reveal the answer to the question she'd dedicated so much of her life for or stay true to Marinette. And I honestly believe that she'll choose her best friend over some hobby blog. (Also +1 to Hawkdaddy for setting up character development for side characters. Not many shows do that.)
