| [bool](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.boolean) | Returns whether or not a given [ProfilerArea](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/profiling/profilerarea.md) is currently enabled. |

### Remarks

Enabled areas emit stats and samples. Each enabled area adds to the profiler overhead. To disable an area, either close the corresponding chart in the [ProfilerWindow](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityeditor/profilerwindow.md) or call [Profiler.SetAreaEnabled](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/profiling/profiler/setareaenabled.md).
