      A new action was added for `puppet facts` : `puppet facts show`. This action is more user configurable: it can query only one or a list of facts or all of them; by default this action does not display the legacy facts but they can be enable with `--show legacy` option. There are options for providing a config file, custom and external directories to Facter.

    Description

      Currently puppet facts application retrieve all facts (including legacy facts). This mechanism should be extended to be able to retrieve a list of facts if that is requested.

       

      A non invasive solution for this could be implementing another action for facts application (see upload action).
