Hi!

I'm trying to create a pipeline in Kibana (Stack Management -\> Ingest Node pipelines). I'm creating the pipeline with JSON processor, and it works well until I'm adding a condition to it.  
I've got error when I tried to add _"if": "host.name == 'test'"_ to this field. When I've replaced it for _"host.name" == "test"_ there was no error, but the processor wasn't executed on my test document. What is the right format for this field?

I expected to find it [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/ingest-node-pipelines.html), but haven't succeeded. I'm sorry if I just missed it in some other part of the documentation.
