Alas, nope.  It's understandable that you'd say so, though.

The way we do things here, each machine stores its percol-* files in
/var/adm/sa.  Every five minutes, a script runs to copy all of those files
down to a master logging server, which runs orca and produces the graphs.
The percol-* files (and the temp-percol-* files) are put in
/usr/local/orca/var/orcallator/<machine-name>/ on the master logging
server.
