+### How to filter events
+
+You can do it in multiple ways. You can use those nodes:
+
+- IF
+- Switch
+- Spreadsheet File (a lot of conditions - advanced)
+
+#### Example If usage

+If you receive messages from Logstash then you have fields like host.name. You can use if condition to filter known host.
+
+1. Create If node
+2. Click Add condition
+3. From dropdown menu select String
+4. As Value 1 type or select a field which you want use. In this example we use expression {{ $json["host"]["name"] }}
+5. As Value 2 type host name which you want to process. In this example we use paloalto.paseries.test
+6. Next you can select any other node for further process filtered message.
+
+#### Example Case usage
+
+1. Create Case node
+2. Select Rules on Mode 
+3. Select String on Data Type
+4. As Value 1 type or select a field which you want use. In this example we use expression {{ $json["host"]["name"] }}
