"Administrators can set up auditing to capture systems events. However, if you set up auditing to capture everything, you will create logs that can take up all available disk space. Rather, you should set a parameter defining a threshold, or clipping level, of the event to be logged. Setting thresholds is typical in the configuration of intrusion detection systems (IDSs). An IDS has the tendency to log a lot of erroneous events called false positives. Setting thresholds can cut down on the number of errors logged."

You can set levels on file access attempts or logins attempts, however that is not the best answer.
