In the console, when you filter a fact that contains one or more symbols, like dashes, you might get an invalid fact path
error. This most commonly occurs when filtering ec2_metadata
facts.
Error messages and logs
This is a known issue. To work around the error, symbols in fact names being filtered in the console must be in double quotes.

Solution
When you filter facts by entering a fact name with a symbol in it into the Fact field, wrap the part of the fact name with a symbol in it in double quotes.
For example, if the fact name you want to filter is ec2_metadata.instance-name
, surround instance-name
with double quotes when entering it in the Fact field:
ec2_metadata."instance-name"
