I'm tagging my cloudflare data in the http\_poller input in logstash. I have the following config in my output file, but the cf section is getting skipped and going right to the last stanza, writing the wrong index name

> output {  
> if "azeh" in [tags] {  
> if [AppEnvironment] {  
> elasticsearch {  
> index =\> "tn-%{AppEnvironment}-%{LoggerName}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
> hosts =\> ["10.10.9.4:9200"]  
> }  
> }  
> else {  
> elasticsearch {  
> index =\> "tn-%{LoggerName}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
> hosts =\> ["10.10.9.4:9200"]  
> }  
> }  
> }
> 
> else if "cloudflare" in [tags] {  
> elasticsearch {  
> index =\> "cloudflare-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
> hosts =\> ["10.10.9.4:9200"]  
> }  
> }
> 
> else {  
> elasticsearch {  
> hosts =\> ["10.10.9.4:9200"]  
> index =\> "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{[@metadata][version]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
> }  
> }  
> }

the output in elasticsearch can be seen here:

All other tag-based index renames are working, save for this one.

Please advise.

Thank you
