Thanks for the quick response. That was something more out of desperation. I saw something on the page with regarding the inventory service that facts_terminus would cause it to get facts from a yaml repository. I am having the same issue regardless of whether I use facts_terminus = yaml or the default of facts_terminus = facter.
