There is the option in config_dev.yml

framework:
    profiler: { only_exceptions: true }

It was false, now all going normal.

In symfony 4 this option is at `config/packages/dev/web_profiler.yaml` – Genarito Feb 22 '19 at 15:31

Check to see if your environment is running in dev (development) mode, if so make sure it is on prod (production). In dev mode alot proccessing is done for debugging reasons and this is not needed for your clients.

if you wish to disable the profiler you can do it In: app/config/config_dev.yml

web_profiler:
     toolbar: true
     only-exceptions: true
     intercept_redirects: false

No, that is other profiler, that stores info about every request. – Neka Feb 18 '13 at 17:01
http://symfony.com/doc/master/book/internals.html#profiler there it is descripted – Neka Feb 18 '13 at 17:04
I see! Just a question why would you want to run in dev env while having clients on the site? – GiveMeAllYourCats Feb 18 '13 at 17:21
Because it manage clients on the router and used by technical specialists while I developing it. – Neka Feb 19 '13 at 01:47

Here is better solution, you can store your profiler data in redis thanks to SncRedisBundle, they have implemented profiler_storage.

They have also added TTL, so your profiler data can expire automatically.

First configure your snc_redis client in config.yml

snc_redis:
    clients:
        default:
            type: predis
            alias: default
            dsn: redis://localhost

Then add profiler storage in config_dev.yml

snc_redis:
    profiler_storage:
        client: default
        ttl: 86400

That is a really good solution for projects using Redis and SncRedisBundle! – Najki Oct 15 '19 at 09:50
@Najki yep, since I use the redis method I don't have problems anymore. – nacholibre Oct 15 '19 at 12:05

my solution

* * * * * root cd /path/to/project/src/var/cache/dev/profiler && sed -i ':a;$q;N;101,$D;ba' ./index.csv && ls -1t | tail -n +102 | xargs rm -rf

where:

sed -i ':a;$q;N;101,$D;ba' ./index.csv removes all lines in index.csv, except last 100. (new dumps are stored last)

ls -1t | tail -n +102 | xargs rm -rf removes all folders and files except newest 100 by modification date.

102 - to account for index.csv
