Skip route based on filter

Getting Started

Hi,

I have setup a scenario as follows:

As you can see, there is a router module that filters for criteria. I am new to Make and was hoping that if I put a filter on the router, the rest of the modules after the filter that did not pass would be skipped.

However, as you can see, they have not been. Is there a way to accomplish what I am trying to do?

Thanks

That’s how aggregators function. To stop the additional processing in the route, add a filter to the module(s) after the aggregator.

Thanks for your reply. I’m sorry that does not make sense to me. My thinking was that if an aggregator is not executed then the rest of the steps should also not be executed. Could you please explain a bit further?

Sure, aggregators create a special link with the source module… if the source executes, the aggregator will execute. When filtered, that just determines whether or not that particular packet will be included in the aggregator’s result.

Hey,

As @JimTheMondayMan said, just add a second filter after the aggregator that filters out the outcome that the aggregator produces.
