Switching the Profiler StorageΒΆ

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:
