# ProfilerModuleMetadataAttribute

> Provides metadata for a ProfilerModule, including its display name, tooltip, and icon.

## Definition

* **Type:** Class
* **Namespace:** [Unity.Profiling.Editor](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unity/profiling/editor.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEditor.CoreModule
* **Inherits from:** [Attribute](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.attribute)

```csharp
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class, AllowMultiple = false, Inherited = false)]
public class ProfilerModuleMetadataAttribute : Attribute
```

## Remarks

Apply this attribute to a [ProfilerModule](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unity/profiling/editor/profilermodule.md) derived class to configure how it appears in the Profiler window. The attribute is required for Unity to discover and display custom Profiler modules.

You can customize the module's appearance by setting the [ProfilerModuleMetadataAttribute.DisplayName](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unity/profiling/editor/profilermodulemetadataattribute/displayname.md), [ProfilerModuleMetadataAttribute.Tooltip](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unity/profiling/editor/profilermodulemetadataattribute/tooltip.md), and [ProfilerModuleMetadataAttribute.IconPath](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unity/profiling/editor/profilermodulemetadataattribute/iconpath.md) properties.

```csharp
using System;
using Unity.Profiling;
using Unity.Profiling.Editor;

[ProfilerModuleMetadata(
    "Network Statistics",
    Tooltip = "Displays network packet statistics and bandwidth usage",
    IconPath = "Assets/Icons/NetworkProfilerIcon.png"
)]
public class NetworkProfilerModule : ProfilerModule
{
    static readonly ProfilerCounterDescriptor[] k_ChartCounters = new ProfilerCounterDescriptor[]
    {
        new ProfilerCounterDescriptor("Packets Sent", "Network"),
        new ProfilerCounterDescriptor("Packets Received", "Network"),
    };

    public NetworkProfilerModule() : base(k_ChartCounters) {}
}
```
