Hello!

I'm trying to attribute a _"delivery\_conn\_r"_ tag to logs from files ending with _".results"_. All other files get a _"delivery\_conn\_t"_ tag.

This is what's on my pipeline thus far:

```auto
if "delivery_conn" in [tags] {
		if ([log][file][path] =~ "/var/log/conn/././%{UUID}\.results"){
			grok {
				match => { 
						"[log][file][path]" => "/var/log/conn/././%{UUID:message_token}\.results"
					}
				add_tag => ["my_parsed_tag", "delivery_conn_r"]
			}
		} else {
			grok {
				match => { 
						"[log][file][path]" => "/var/log/conn/././%{UUID:message_token}"
					}
				add_tag => ["my_parsed_tag", "delivery_conn_t"]
			}
		}
	
	}

```

However, all logs are entering the second clause and being treated as non-.results tags. I think something might be wrong with the log.file.path syntax on my second if-clause:

```auto
if ([log][file][path] =~ "/var/log/conn/././%{UUID}\.results")

```

BTW I have checked that this regex should work for my filepath.

Can anyone suggest what might be wrong?
