+    single: Profiling; Storage Configuration
+
+Switching the Profiler Storage
+==============================
+
+By default the profile stores the collected data in a file in the cache 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:
+
+.. configuration-block::
+
+    .. code-block:: yaml
+
+        # app/config/config.yml
+        framework:
+        profiler:
+            dsn:      "mysql:host=localhost;dbname=%database_name%"
+            username: "%database_user%"
+            password: "%database_password%"
+            lifetime: 3600
+
+    .. code-block:: xml
+
+        <!-- app/config/config.xml -->
+        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
+        <container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
