my logs are not passing into the if and else if condition, when the if is removed it works fine.  
`logstash 7.1.1`

```
> filter {
> if [source] =~ "gid" {
> grok {
> match => {"message" => "%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:timestamp}\|(\[%{BASE10NUM:nbr}\])\|%{IPORHOST:ClientIP}\|%{USERNAME:User};%{DATA:Node}\|%{URIPATH:Url}\|%{NOTS$
> }
> }
> }
```

Try this:

```
if [source] and [source] == "gid" {
BLAH
}
```
