SCOM 2012 file monitoring

Question

Hello,
I have a requirement to monitor the folder and alert needs to be triggered if *trace* file present. If the trace file present there should be some issue and that owner needs to be alerted from SCOM that the file is present in the specific folder.
May i know the way to achieve this?
Regards,
Vijay

You may create time script monitor and the script is similar to
Dim fs, f, foldername,fd
set oAPI=CreateObject("MOM.ScriptAPI")
set oBag=oAPI.CreatePropertyBag()
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   foldername="c:\temp" 
   status="OK"
    Set fd = fs.Getfolder(foldername)
    for each f in fd.files
             if instr(f.name,"trace") then
                 status="NOT OK"
                exit for
            end if
    next   
 Call oBag.AddValue("Status",status)
 Call oAPI.Return(oBag)
IN this example, I assume the monitor file is c:\temp and the trace flle with file name "*trace*"
