You should be able to use the accesslog overlay (slapo-accesslog(5))
configured to log only binds and only in case of failure.  In that case,
logs would appear in the database rather than in the log file.  The log
database can be purged to keep it under control.

p.


I also found that removing the syslog interaction with the accesslog overlay helped improve performance (available cpu) a fair amount.
