# PCP::LogSummary(3pm)

Perl interface for pmlogsummary(1)

## NAME

PCP::LogSummary - Perl interface for [pmlogsummary(1)](/pmlogsummary/1.md)

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use PCP::LogSummary;
  my $summary = new PCP::LogSummary($log, \@metrics, $start, $end);
```

## DESCRIPTION

The PCP::LogSummary module is a wrapper around the Performance Co-Pilot [**pmlogsummary**(1)](/pmlogsummary/1.md) command. Its primary purpose is to automate the production of post-processed pmlogsummary data, in particular to automate the step where the summarised data is imported into a spreadsheet for further anaylsis. This has proven to often be an iterative process - done manually it involves much cutting+pasting, and can be a significant time waster.

### EXPORT
