Symfony 4 disable profiler in controller action - symfony

Question

I have an action in the controller for mass instert in the database...
So this uses a lot of resources and the profiler is caching everything and server goes down.
How can i disable the profiler (and all the debug services) in one action on the controller?
The controller looks like :
<?php
namespace App\Controller;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\AbstractController;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Annotation\Route;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use App\Sync\Incomming\Syncronize;
/**
* #Route("/sync")
*/
class SyncController extends AbstractController
{
private $syncronize;
public function __construct(Syncronize $syncronize)
{
$this->syncronize = $syncronize;
}
/**
* #Route("/",name="sync_index")
*/
public function index(Request $request, Profiler $profiler)
{
$message = "Hello";
return $this->render( 'sync/output.html.twig', ['message' => $message ]);
}
}
if I try to autowire the profiler in the constructor method then I get the error public function __construct(Syncronize $syncronize, Profiler $profiler):
Cannot autowire service "App\Controller\SyncController": argument
"$profiler" of method "__construct()" references class
"Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Profiler\Profiler" but no such service
exists. You should maybe alias this class to the existing "profiler"
service.
if I try to autowire the profiler in the index method then I get the error public function index(Request $request, Profiler $profiler):
Controller "App\Controller\SyncController::index()" requires that you
provide a value for the "$profiler" argument. Either the argument is
nullable and no null value has been provided, no default value has
been provided or because there is a non optional argument after this
one.
EDIT
For big queries disabling the profiler was not the solution... Actually you need to disable the setSQLLogger:
$em->getConnection()->getConfiguration()->setSQLLogger(null);

Symfony 3.4 / 4
https://symfony.com/doc/4.0/profiler/matchers.html
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Profiler\Profiler;
class DefaultController
{
// ...
public function someMethod(Profiler $profiler)
{
// for this particular controller action, the profiler is disabled
$profiler->disable();
// ...
}
}
If you have an error with autowiring
# config/services.yaml
services:
Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Profiler\Profiler: '#profiler'

If you want to disable the profiler from a controller, you can like this:
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Profiler\Profiler;
// ...
class DefaultController
{
// ...
public function someMethod(Profiler $profiler)
{
// for this particular controller action, the profiler is disabled
$profiler->disable();
// ...
}
}

Another way would be to use: $this->get('profiler')->disable();

Simply switch the app to prod mode and disable debug mode.
To do this, open the .env file on the server in your favourite editor (Note: You should never commit this file to Git, as you store secrets in there!).
In that file, you should see a section starting with: ###> symfony/framework-bundle ###
Just below that there is a APP_ENV=dev and APP_DEBUG=1, change these two lines to APP_ENV=prod and APP_DEBUG=0. Then save the file.
Next you should clear the cache for prod mode and install the assets. To do this, run the following commands:
php bin/console cache:clear --env=prod --no-debug
php bin/console cache:warmup --env=prod --no-debug
php bin/console assets:install --env=prod --no-debug --symlink
If you now load the application, it is in prod mode, which includes more caching and is faster as debug is disabled.
Note:
There will still be a timelimit for PHP. If you still hit that limit, you can either change your PHP setting or alternatively you could run the import from CLI, as CLI usually has no timelimit. If users need to be able to upload on their own, I'd suggest having them upload the file, enter a "note" about the file to a db and have a cronjob reading that db for not imported files and import them.
