Switching the Profiler Storage¶

By default the profile stores the collected data in files in the %kernel.cache_dir%/profiler/ directory. You can control the storage being used through the dsn, username, password and lifetime options. For example, the following configuration uses MySQL as the storage for the profiler with a lifetime of one hour:

YAML

# app/config/config.yml
framework:
    profiler:
        dsn:      'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=%database_name%'
        username: '%database_user%'
        password: '%database_password%'
        lifetime: 3600

XML

<!-- app/config/config.xml -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

        http://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony
        http://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony/symfony-1.0.xsd">

    <framework:config>
        <framework:profiler
            dsn="mysql:host=localhost;dbname=%database_name%"
            username="%database_user%"
            password="%database_password%"
            lifetime="3600"
        />
    </framework:config>
</container>

PHP

// app/config/config.php

// ...
$container->loadFromExtension('framework', array(
    'profiler' => array(
        'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=%database_name%',
        'username' => '%database_user',
        'password' => '%database_password%',
        'lifetime' => 3600,
    ),
));

The HttpKernel component currently supports the following profiler storage drivers:
