Flow entries for traffic monitoring in SDN

I'm trying to install flow entries for traffic monitoring in SDN. I wonder if I can set the action as "continue indexing the flow table"? Here is one scenario:

A layer 2 switch with one existing flow entry: "match:dst_mac=00:01, action:outport=1, priority=1", I want to monitor network traffic with src_mac=00:02. Now I'm trying to add an high-priority flow entry "match:src_mac=00:02, action:continue_indexing, priority=2". How can I write the action field? I can't find any similar actions in OpenFlow 1.3.0.

Thanks for your answering!

What do you mean by continue indexing? – Craneum

You can either leverage multiple tables for pipeline matching, or output the packets to the controller first and then inject those packets containing action "Table" back to the tables.
