Comments - MySQL: Number of on-disk temporary tables created per second is high (over 10 for 5m)

The warning is because there are a large number of queries that require on-disk temporary tables to be created, which may not be ideal. You said you increased the sort_buffer_size (did you have a specific reason for trying this?) and enabled the slow query log, but it didn't help you. The slow query log by default should show you the problematic queries, which is a start in identifying what is going on. It could be poorly-indexed queries as well as non-optimal settings. Take a look at the description at tmp_table_size to get an idea of the ratio of tmp tables to tmp tables on disk. It may help to increase tmp_table_size and/or max_heap_table_size.

Per aria_used_for_temp_tables the MEMORY STORAGE engine is used for temporary tables.

One of its restrictions is that it cannot support text/blob types (MDEV-19), and because of this, JOINs create with these tables will go to disk.

Using log_slow_filter=tmp_table_on_disk, long_query_time=0 and an enabled slow query log will identify which query is related.
