I'm writing some facts for laptops and they're dependent on the availability of specific services over the network. I'd like to use the previous data for the fact if the data returned doesn't validate. Is there an existing pattern I can use for that? I currently have it written to reuse the data using Facter.value() after validation but wanted to make sure there wasn't something standardized that I missed.
