Hi,
that sounds like an ideal task for inotify inotify - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. There are APIs available for different programming languages.
Hope this helps

How are the files being created? Current releases of Linux (SLES
included) have an ‘audit’ component that I believe is built into the
kernel and therefore should be able to report on things like this. I
haven’t used it myself but it sounds like you’re after auditing.
Also, in cases like these, it sometimes helps to know exactly what you
are after. Chances are you aren’t after a list of file creations just
for kicks and because you like some light reading at night…
Good luck.
