Perfmon sending logs to the wrong indexer

I have a single instance deployment. I have a server that is sending Perfmon logs to my main index but I never told it to send those logs. Where do I check those settings? I want to keep it sending logs but to the correct index. So I made a perfmon index but I cannot find where on the server this configuration files is. I checked etc/system/local couldn't find anything.

I was able to find that there was an application called Splunk TA (splunkuniversalforwarder/etc/apps) which resided on that machine simply deleted it because I know I do not have this on my fresh install of Splunk so it won't be pushed out again also checked my deployment server and made sure it is none existent there.
