Greetings  
i have data being collected by logstash and depending on the string match i will insert into one influx or another for example:

> if [@influx\_measurement] =~ /(ABC\_.\*)  
> then insert into influxA etc...

bit i need to add something more like:

> if [@influx\_measurement] =~ /(ABC\_._) and TAG VALUES (name) FROM /(ABC._) == serverA  
> then insert into influxB etc...

Just basically depending that if a tag value from key "name" in measurement (ABC.\*) matches "serverA" then insert into influx instanceB. help please?  
Thanks again

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. What does an example `@influx_measurement` value look like and how do you want it filtered?

hi Magnus  
im new to this so let me try to clarify. right now i have, if the measurement name coming from logstash match ABC\_\* something etc...then insert data into instance A of influx, but what i need is something like if the measurement name matches ABC\_\* and the key "NAME" in measurement ABC\_\* has the value "serverB" then insert into instance B of influx. not sure if that helps describe what i need . The data looks like:

```
ABC_SERVERS - that's the measurement NAME
key = host
value = serverB
```

I still don't understand what your events look like so I can't make suggestions for how to filter them. _Show_ your events, don't _describe_ them.
