Hi,

is it possible to gather some custom facts on hosts, and after that to use those gathered facts to gather other facts.

For example, first I need to gather some facts about some host, after that, I would like to run another script for gathering facts, but input argument for this other script should be those facts which I gathered in step before…  
Thanks a lot…
