h3. facts JSON format

<pre>

{

  "name"     => "fqdn.example.com",

  "certname" => "optional.certname.for.this.host",

  "facts"    => {

                  "fact1"                  => "value",

                  "fact2"                  => "value",

                  "_timestamp"             => "2013-10-18 07:47:45 +0000",

                  "operatingsystem"        => 'Debian',

                  "operatingsystemrelease" => '7.0'

                }

}

</pre>

Note that _timestamp, operatingsystem and operatingsystemrelease are mandatory. Certname is optional, but if provided it will be preferred over name to identify the host object in the db.
