Hello,

I am trying create multiple if statements in the filter section in my pipeline config but I have no success with that.

This works (with one if statement)

```auto
filter {
  json {
      source => "message"
  }
  split { field => "[data][TABLE_neighbor][ROW_neighbor]" }

  if "172.1.1.1" in [host] or "172.1.1.2" in [host] or "172.1.1.3" in [host] or "172.1.1.4" in [host] {
      mutate {
          add_tag => ["test"]
      }
}
}

```

This doesn't work:

```auto
filter {
  json {
      source => "message"
  }
  split { field => "[data][TABLE_neighbor][ROW_neighbor]" }

  if "172.1.1.1" in [host] or "172.1.1.2" in [host] or "172.1.1.3" in [host] or "172.1.1.4" in [host] {
      mutate {
          add_tag => ["test"]
      }
}
  if "true" in [data.TABLE_neighbor.ROW_neighbor.up] {
      mutate {
           add_field => { "testfield" => "1" }
      }
}
}

```

What wrong with this filter? How can I use multiple if statements for different fields?

Regards,  
Robin

Your split filter suggests you have a field called [data][TABLE\_neighbor][ROW\_neighbor] (in elasticsearch or kibana you would call that data.TABLE\_neighbor.ROW\_neighbor) so it seems likely that your second if should be

```
if "true" in [data][TABLE_neighbor][ROW_neighbor][up] {

```
