Hello, I've the following filter configurations

```
filter{
    if "Dumping Scrapy stats" in [message] {

    		grok{
    				match => ["message", "'item_scraped_count': %{NUMBER:scraped:int}"]
    		}
    		grok{
    				match => ["message", "'invalid_items_count': %{NUMBER:invalid:int}"]
    		}
    	
    	}

    	 else {
    		grok{
    				match => ["message", "Crawled iteration for merchant %{WORD:merchant_name} started"]
    			}
    		}
}
output {
    	if "_grokparsefailure" not in [tags]{
    		stdout {
    			codec => rubydebug
    		}

    		elasticsearch {
    			hosts => "elasticsearch:9200"
    			index => "logstash-%{merchant_name}"
    		}
    	}
    }

```

The log line that triggers the grok in the else part, comes before the one that triggeres the if part in the logfile, so after parsing the logfile, I get 2 elasticsearch indices logstash-adidas & logstash-%{merchant\_name}, I want the merchant\_name field to be (global?) once it is extracted.

How can I solve this problem?

Take a look at [this](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-environment.html) and see if that helps/solves your problem
