Switching the Profiler Storage¶

The profiler stores the collected data in the %kernel.cache_dir%/profiler/ directory. If you want to use another location to store the profiles, define the dsn option of the framework.profiler:

YAML

# config/packages/dev/web_profiler.yaml
framework:
    profiler:
        dsn: 'file:/tmp/symfony/profiler'

XML

<!-- config/packages/dev/web_profiler.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"
    xmlns:framework="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services
        http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd
        http://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony
        http://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony/symfony-1.0.xsd">

    <framework:config>
        <framework:profiler dsn="file:/tmp/symfony/profiler" />
    </framework:config>
</container>

PHP

// config/packages/dev/web_profiler.php

// ...
$container->loadFromExtension('framework', array(
    'profiler' => array(
        'dsn' => 'file:/tmp/symfony/profiler',
    ),
));

You can also create your own profile storage service implementing the ProfilerStorageInterface and overriding the profiler.storage service.
