Loop continue

The loop.continue step skips the rest of the current iteration in the innermost enclosing foreach or while loop and moves on to the next iteration. Use it to skip items that don't meet a filter, without nesting the remaining logic inside an if.

loop.continue takes no parameters.

Parameter Location Type Required Description

- name: process_alerts
  type: foreach
  foreach: "${{ event.alerts }}"
  steps:
    - name: filter_benign
      type: if
      condition: "foreach.item.kibana.alert.severity : low"
      steps:

    - name: enrich
      type: virustotal.scanFileHash
      connector-id: "my-virustotal"
      with:
        hash: "{{ foreach.item.file.hash.sha256 }}"

    - name: record
      type: cases.addComment
      with:
        case_id: "{{ consts.case_id }}"
        comment: "Enriched: {{ foreach.item._id }} — {{ steps.enrich.output.stats.malicious }} hits"

Low-severity alerts are skipped; the loop moves on to the next alert without running enrich or record.
