hostvars[inventory_hostname][ansible_facts] when host unreachable?

I’ve been trying to loop on a fact for all hosts (‘distribution’) and encountered an error to the effect of ‘dict is undefined’ . It took a while to realize that ‘ansible_facts:’ exists but is unpopulated on unreachable hosts.

What would be the best way to loop through only reachable hosts that have successfully populated ansible_facts?

Thank you,

You could check whether the host is listed in the ansible_play_hosts variable which only contains "active"
hosts.
