# Request Profiling
2020-06-23 00:09:42 +05:30
To profile a request:
1. Sign in to GitLab as a user with Administrator or Maintainer [permissions](../../../user/permissions.md).
1. In the navigation bar, click **{admin}** **Admin area**.
1. Navigate to **{monitor}** **Monitoring > Requests Profiles**.
1. In the **Requests Profiles** section, copy the token.
1. Pass the headers `X-Profile-Token: <token>` and `X-Profile-Mode: <mode>`(where
`<mode>` can be `execution` or `memory`) to the request you want to profile. When
passing headers, you can use:
- Browser extensions such as the
[ModHeader](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/modheader/idgpnmonknjnojddfkpgkljpfnnfcklj)
Chrome extension.
- `curl`. For example:
```shell
curl --header 'X-Profile-Token: <token>' --header 'X-Profile-Mode: <mode>' "https://gitlab.example.com/group/project"
```
NOTE: **Note:**
Profiled requests can take longer than usual.
After the request completes, you can view the profiling output from the
**{monitor}** **Monitoring > Requests Profiles** administration page:

The output from profiled requests is cleared out once each day through a
Sidekiq worker.
