Ingest Pipeline Creating Grok Pattern with string as dependency

[pupit]

Hi,

I am exploring ingest pipeline. The grok is working as expected.
But, I am looking into just executing/running the grok pattern if the field have a certain string. How can I add a if condition where "if message =~ ssh2" then run grok pattern, if not, do not extract.

      {
        "grok": {
        "field": "message",
        "patterns": ["%{SYSLOGTIMESTAMP:syslog_timestamp} %{DATA:secure_server_name} %{WORD:secure_service}\\[%{NUMBER:secure_process_id}\\]: %{DATA:secure_outcome} for (invalid user %{DATA:secure_user}|%{DATA:secure_user}) from %{IP:secure_ip} port %{NUMBER:secure_port} %{DATA}$"]
        }
      }
    ]
  },

      }
    }]
}
