Can't create an expressión filter with more than one 'else if' about puppet-rsyslog HOT 8 CLOSED

I have found that coding the yaml like:

  - expression_filter:
      filter:
        if:
          expression: '$hostname == ["sip", "proxysipint", "proxysipintb" ]'
          tasks:
            - set:
                '$.filename': '"kam-int.log"'
        "# else if 1\nelse if":
          expression: '$hostname == ["sipext", "proxysipext" ]'
          tasks:
            - set:
                '$.filename': '"kam-ext.log"'
        "# else if 2\nelse if":
          expression: '$hostname == ["pbxum", "pbxum1", "pbxum1b"]'
          tasks:
            - set:
                '$.filename': '"ast-core.log"'

worarounds the problem, but I can't find a better way

I'll take a look at what I can do. I have some ideas.

@amateo I pushed an update to master that changes how the expression filter YAML is formatted a little. It is still compatible with current formats, it just is designed to address the issue you ran into. Your workaround gave me the idea to name the conditions rather than try and rely on users putting the if, else if, and else in there.

see https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-rsyslog#expression-based-filters for some updated examples

I am planning on pushing up a release to the puppet forge either tonight or tomorrow if you'd rather wait for that than pull from git.

Thank you @dhollinger, I'll try it as soon as the new release is published.
