My basic understanding is this: An SMF record is created for each event.
So, if you create a file/delete it - that would be a create and delete SMF Record. If you do it hours apart, again new SMF records for create and delete are created. SMF does not monitor to see if it is the same file or not. It just creates records. Now you may have a tool in your shop that does filtering. Then I am not sure what that would do. Basically SMF always writes a record, it does not check if that file name was done that way or not.
