'log and monitor files created

is there a program to log and monitor files created?

the purpose is that if i run <theProgramForLogging> foo/bar/baz.o i get some context of the file like the process/user that made it, like if i run make install to compile a program, it logs the installed files and marks them that they are file from x program when it was compiled

i had asked this in my previous question but this time the question is more general for logging not just for compiling and perhaps more automated, thanks
