+## --assets-path
+Overrides the default InfluxDB user interface (UI) assets by serving assets from a specific directory.
+_This is typically only used internally at InfluxData when working on the InfluxDB UI._

-## e2e-testing
-Add /debug/flush endpoint to clear stores; used for end-to-end tests.
+## --bolt-path
+Defines the path to the [BoltDB](https://github.com/boltdb/bolt) database.
+BoltDB is a key value store written in Go.
+InfluxDB uses BoltDB to store non-time-series data such as organization and
+user information, UI data, REST resources, etc.
