During preparations to Kibana upgrade from 5.6 to 6.2 I noticed "bundled\_plugin\_ids" setting into its config.  
I couldn't find this setting in "Configuring Kibana" section of Kibana User Guide.  
Any ideas what is this setting about? Should I just remove it (Kibana 6 doesn't support it) or migrate to something?

TIA,  
Vitaly

`bundled_plugin_ids` is an old setting that told Kibana where it could find its default plugins. That is now done by scanning the directories listed in the `plugins.scanDirs` setting, so you can safely remove it from your config.
