Description

Some of my hosts have a fact "my_fact". I would like to be able to search for the hosts where this fact doesn't exist. This doesn't seemed to be possible within the current search system - things like "not has facts.my_fact" don't work, nor does "facts.myfact !~ *".

This is a different issue from #1168 since that's resolved, but this is still relevant.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Have a custom fact that is only on a few hosts (i.e. a fact confined to one osfamily)
  • Try to search for hosts without that fact

I wrote a custom fact reboot_needed and now I want to know which hosts lack this fact. I tried the options Greg provided in the description and failed to find the hosts.
