The callback sends a POST request to /api/v2/hosts/facts with the format you can see in the API docs.

Facts must contain the output of ansible -m setup $HOSTNAME, plus a '_type' and '_timestamp' keys. You can see an example on test/fixtures/sample_facts.json in this repository.

After that request, you should have a host registered in Foreman with the Ansible facts. It takes into account some facter and ohai facts if these are available on the system as well.
