Which inputs.conf does "splunk add monitor" modify

I've been working with Splunk for many years and have always made changes via the .conf files.  However, I recently added the /var/logs directory by using

./splunk add monitor /var/log -index main -sourcetype linux

It's working, but I want to modify it a bit.  However, I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out which inputs.conf file was modified with the command.

Any assistance appreciated.
