Puppet users - Dec 2011 - Puppet Inventory Service - class search

I am looking to rewrite some modules that currently use storeconfigs (nagios
being the big one) to instead pull from the inventory service the required
information instead.  Some of the checks are as easy as a monitoring check that
gets put into place whenever a specific class is included.  I know I can have my
class install a fact I can then query for, but to remove the service i then need
to also clean up that fact so it disappears from the monitoring service as well.

I have looked at the mailing list, API reference, and inventory service page
without success hoping to see a class_search (or something like it) to go along
with the fact_search.  Does this exist?

Another idea I thought of is to have a fact that pulled in the classes.txt into
one value (which would solve my removal issue), but there isn''t a
textual operator for substr or in.

Assuming that none of the above exist (and nobody has a different head smack
easy solution), where is the inventory service in the puppet code and I will see
if I can add a substr/in pattern match.

Thanks,
jl
