Hi @vrann and @okorshenko , I have question about this task:

In file: app/bootstrap.php $_SERVER['MAGE_PROFILER'] is not empty.
The problem of this that you can do:SetEnv MAGE_PROFILER "html" in your .htaccess but you can have another HTTP Server like nginx.

Can I move this Enviroment Variable to env.php like MAGE_MODE ?

I think is better approach, I can keep 2 ways from $_SERVER and from env.php What do you think?

Thanks!

@osrecio I don't think it's a good idea to move it to env.php. The reason being that env.php is not yet parsed by app/bootstrap.php by the time it now initializes the profiler, thereby eliminating the possibility to profile everything before the moment it parses env.php.

My suggestion would be to use a flagfile (like ./var/profiler.flag) to activate the profiler, and use the CLI command to add/remove it and set the profiler type (html, csvfile or something custom).

Quick write-out (I'll be happy to create a PR for it);

Instead of this part in app/bootstrap.php;

if (!empty($_SERVER['MAGE_PROFILER'])
    && isset($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'])
    && strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'], 'text/html') !== false
) {
    \Magento\Framework\Profiler::applyConfig(
        $_SERVER['MAGE_PROFILER'],
        BP,
        !empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) && $_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH'] == 'XMLHttpRequest'
    );
}

We use;

if (
    (!empty($_SERVER['MAGE_PROFILER']) || file_exists(BP . '/var/profiler.flag'))
    && isset($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'])
    && strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'], 'text/html') !== false
) {
    \Magento\Framework\Profiler::applyConfig(
        ((isset($_SERVER['MAGE_PROFILER']) && strlen($_SERVER['MAGE_PROFILER']) ? $_SERVER['MAGE_PROFILER'] : file_get_contents(BP . '/var/profiler.flag')),
        BP,
        !empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) && $_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH'] == 'XMLHttpRequest'
    );
}

And then use php bin/magento dev:profiler:enable <type> (with type default html) and php bin/magento dev:profiler:disable to enable the profiler by creating the flagfile and disable the profiler by removing the file.

GO ahead with PR, I forgot this task :) . I think your idea is good, I like it like maintenance file, etc

Thanks @peterjaap
