# MongoDB::getProfilingLevel

(PECL mongo >=0.9.0)

MongoDB::getProfilingLevel — Gets this database's profiling level

### Description

public MongoDB::getProfilingLevel ( ) : int

This returns the current database profiling level.

The database profiler tracks query execution times. If you turn it on (say, using MongoDB::setProfilingLevel() or the shell), you can see how many queries took longer than a given number of milliseconds or the timing for all queries.

Note that profiling slows down queries, so it is better to use in development or testing than in a time-sensitive application.

This function is equivalent to running:

`<?php
public function getProfilingLevel() {
return $this->command(array('profile' => -1));
}
?>`

### Parameters

This function has no parameters.

### Return Values

Returns the profiling level.
