Use the % Temp Tables on Disk health check in Mini DBA to review MySQL and MariaDB configuration, metadata, and monitoring signals before they become active alerts.
This health check tests a specific MySQL and MariaDB condition that Mini DBA can assess from configuration, metadata, or recent monitoring data.
The check turns an operational best practice into a repeatable Mini DBA review item so teams do not rely on memory or occasional manual audits.
Open the failed check in Mini DBA, identify the affected object or setting, confirm whether it is intentional, then correct the configuration or record an approved exception.
Keep a short note explaining why the check failed, what was changed, who owns the follow-up, and whether an exception was approved.
Treat a failure as high priority on production systems because it can affect recoverability, availability, or security posture.
Prevent repeat failures by assigning an owner, documenting the expected configuration, and reviewing the check after upgrades, migrations, or major application releases.
Add this page to the operational runbook for MySQL and MariaDB environments where the check repeatedly fails. Record local thresholds, approved exceptions, escalation contacts, and the expected review interval so the next administrator can act quickly without rediscovering the same context.
