date.anaconda_log - looks at the /root/anaconda-ks.cfg file
date.machine_id - looks at the /etc/machine-id file (only on rhel 7+)
date.filesystem_create- looks at the filesystem creation date (only for ext)
date.yum_history - looks at the yum transaction history

@mdvickst I've tested this scanning a f24 box (bare metal), rhel6.8 box (VM), and rhel7.2 box (VM). All fields work on all systems tested except for one 'date.filesystem_create'. That fails (at least for me) on the rhel7.2 VM.

As long as that suits your needs I'm ok with pulling this in.

@cnsnyder Thanks! That is as expected. The filesystem create date is only available for ext filesystems and since RHEL 7.x uses XFS as the default I would expect it to fail for 7.2.
