I can understand that, however, if you’re trying to convert yaml into a log path it would be hard to do if/else dynamically. I am curious about how the declaration order matters. My understanding is that each message will be evaluated for a match on each log statement in the order that they appear in the file and only when it hits a log statement with a final flag will it stop attempting to match. Is that correct?

there is also the 'fallback' flag
