That command doesn't modify any files (andseddoesn't tell you what files it's dealing with). What is your actual command, and is it changing files the way you expect? You can edit your question.

The command
sed 's/a/b/' *ex/config/abs.json
would not modify any files. It would read the contents of all the files whose names matches the given pattern, but since you don't write the changes back into the files (you don't use -i for example), there is no persistent modification made to the contents of the files.
To see what fils would have been modified, had you used sed -i (assuming you are using GNU sed), you should first run
grep -l 'a' *ex/config/abs.json
This would output the pathnames of the files that contains the letter a and that therefore would be modified by the sed expression s/a/b/ if an in-place edit was made.
