=head1 NAME

B<xstat_cm_test> - Gathers data collections from the Cache Manager

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use AFS::Monitor qw(xstat_cm_test);

  my $result = xstat_cm_test(
                             cmname => ["hostName1", "hostName2"],
                             collID => [0, 1, 2],
                            );

  foreach my $probe (@$result) {
    print "For host: $probe->{hostName}, ";
    print "Collection $probe->{collectionNumber}\n";
    if ($probe->{probeOK}) {
      print "probe successful\n";
    } else {
      print "probe failed\n";
    }
  }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The B<xstat_cm_test> function returns the data collections from B<libxstat_cm.a>
associated with the Cache Manager.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over

=item B<cmname>

String with one name or reference to an array with names of one or
more machines from which to monitor the Cache Manager.

=item B<collID>

Integer or reference to an array where each entry specifies a data collection
to return, which defines the type and amount of data the command interpreter
gathers about the Cache Manager. Data is returned in a predefined data
structure.

There are three acceptable values:

=over

=item B<0>

Provides profiling information about the numbers of times different internal
Cache Manager routines were called since the Cache Manager started.

=item B<1>

Reports various internal performance statistics related to the Cache Manager
(for example, statistics about how effectively the cache is being used and the
quantity of intracell and intercell data access).

=item B<2>

Reports all of the internal performance statistics provided by the B<1>
setting, plus some additional, detailed performance figures (for example,
statistics about the number of RPCs sent by the Cache Manager and how long
they take to complete, and statistics regarding authentication, access,
and PAG information associated with data access).

=head1 OUTPUT

The returned value is a reference to an array. There is an entry in the array
for each collection gathered for each cache manager. Each entry in the array is
a reference to a hash, containing the following keys:

=over

=item B<hostName>

The name of the cache manager this data collection represents

=item B<collectionNumber>

The data collection number

=item B<probeTime>

The time the probe was initiated, measured in seconds since the Epoch
(00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970).

=item B<probeOK>

1 if the probe was successful, 0 if the probe failed.

=item B<data>

If the probe was not successful, this key will not exist. Otherwise, this
entry will contain a reference to a hash containing all of the data collected.
For details on the contents of this hash, and an example of printing it in a
readable format, refer to the B<xstat_cm_test> script in the B<examples>
directory.
