The following example commands install Consul on Kubernetes using custom values, files, or strings that are set via flags. The underlying Consul-on-Kubernetes Helm chart uses the flags to customize the installation. The flags are comparable to the `helm install` [flags](https://helm.sh/docs/helm/helm_install/#helm-install).

| <nobr>`-routes`</nobr> | `Boolean` Filter output to only show routes. | `false` |
| <nobr>`-secrets`</nobr> | `Boolean` Filter output to only show secrets. | `false` |
| <nobr>`-address`</nobr> | `String` Filter clusters, endpoints, and listeners output to only those with endpoint addresses which contain the given value. | `""` |

| <nobr>`-port`</nobr> | `Int` Filter endpoints output to only endpoints with the given port number. | `-1` which does not filter by port |
The `status` command provides an overall status summary of the Consul on Kubernetes installation. It also provides the config that was used to deploy Consul K8s and provides a quick glance at the health of both Consul servers and clients. This command does not take in any flags.
| <nobr>`-auto-approve`</nobr> | Boolean value that enables you to skip the removal confirmation prompt. | `false` |
| <nobr>`-name`</nobr> | String value for the name of the installation to remove. | none |
| <nobr>`-namespace`</nobr> | String value that specifies the namespace of the Consul installation to remove. | `consul` |

The value is specified with an integer and string value indicating a unit of time. <br/> The following units are supported: <br/> `ms` (milliseconds)<br/>`s` (seconds)<br/>`m` (minutes) <br/>`h` (hours) <br/>In the following example, removal will timeout after one minute:<br/> `consul-k8s uninstall -timeout 1m` | `10m` |
| <nobr>`-wipe-data`</nobr> | Boolean value that deletes PVCs and secrets associated with the Consul installation during installation. <br/> Data will be removed without a verification prompt if the `-auto-approve` flag is set to `true`. | `false` <br/> Instructions for removing data will be printed to the console. |

See [Global Options](#global-options) for additional commands that you can use when uninstalling Consul from Kubernetes.
#### Example Command
The following example command immediately uninstalls Consul from the `my-ns` namespace with the name `my-consul` and removes PVCs and secrets associated with the installation without asking for verification:
The `upgrade` command upgrades the Consul on Kubernetes components to the current version of the `consul-k8s` cli. Prior to running `consul-k8s upgrade`, the `consul-k8s` CLI should first be upgraded to the latest version as described [Upgrade the Consul K8s CLI](#upgrade-the-consul-k8s-cli)

| <nobr>`-set-string`</nobr> | String value that enables you to set a customizable string value. This flag is comparable to the `helm upgrade --set-string` <br/> flag.
