The Ansible Tower documentation is a little misleading for the Smart Inventory -> Smart Host Filter -> Dynamic Host capability in Ansible Tower.

A couple things related:

  1. Documentation under the "Key" (aka Help button) in Smart Inventory -> Smart Host Filter -> Dynamic Host should say "ansible_facts" to access Ansible Facts, not "facts" in the Related Fields.

    1. Under: http://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/userguide/inventories.html#smart-host-filter There are only API examples, no UI examples.
  3. Using Numbers in ansible_facts: Numeric values need to be quoted (see above)

The number 1 example that exemplifies the above:
