 * Is there a way to exclude events triggered by System?
 * We have a large multisite install and the deletion of drafts / etc creates far
   too much noise. I’m more concerned about actual user actions.

 * Hello Fred, not an expert in this plugin but have you checked in the dashboard
   under ‘Audit Log’ the option named “Enable/Disable Alerts”??
    There are a list
   of alerts/notifications you can enable/disable organized in different tabs.
 * Hope it helps!

 * Hello Fred,
 * Very good suggestion indeed. No there is no way to exclude system triggered event
   but it is something we should do. Adding it to our features request list.

 * Is there somewhere in the code I could look to as a starting point to hack this
   in myself?

 * Hello Fred,
 * Unfortunately it is not possible since there is not even a mechanism that allows
   us to determine if a post is generated by the system or by a user yet, so we 
   need to build that mechanism first. So it is not that straight forward but it
   is something we will surely do.

 * Hello Fred,
 * I can confirm that this feature will be available in the upcoming update of WP
   Security Audit Log.
