 - The plugin is disabled by default. See the TypeScript type for the [the available plugin configuration options](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/x-pack/plugins/ingest_manager/common/types/index.ts#L9-L27)
 - Setting `xpack.ingestManager.enabled=true` enables the plugin including the EPM and Fleet features. It also adds the `PACKAGE_CONFIG_API_ROUTES` and `AGENT_CONFIG_API_ROUTES` values in [`common/constants/routes.ts`](./common/constants/routes.ts)
-- Adding `--xpack.ingestManager.epm.enabled=false` will disable the EPM API & UI
 - Adding `--xpack.ingestManager.fleet.enabled=false` will disable the Fleet API & UI
   - [code for adding the routes](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/1f27d349533b1c2865c10c45b2cf705d7416fb36/x-pack/plugins/ingest_manager/server/plugin.ts#L115-L133)
   - [Integration tests](server/integration_tests/router.test.ts)
 - Both EPM and Fleet require `ingestManager` be enabled. They are not standalone features.
+- For Gold+ license, a custom package registry URL can be used by setting `xpack.ingestManager.registryUrl=http://localhost:8080`
