Jump out of filter to output

Is there any way to jump out of the filter straight to output? I'm having an issue with log files with very similar names being picked up by multiple path =~, and its breaking my logging. is there anyway to jump out of the filter and go straight to the output.

i have a files that's called "ebi.server.error.(logsdate)" and some that are just "server.(logsdate)". An ebi.server.error log fits both path =~ "ebi.server.error" and then continues down the filter section and also hits path =~"server." is there anything i can add in the "ebi.server.error" section to jump out of the filter block and go straight to the output block?

Thank you soooo much in advance.

Don't know if I understood correctly, but you could use an if/else statement to do that (going from specific to generic).

E.g.

if [path] =~  "ebi.server.error" {
     ## do stuff
}
else if [path] =~  "server" {
     ## do stuff
}

Logs would go through the first matching statement and skip the rest.

oh my gosh I feel so embarrassed, like duh. thank you!
