where do i find the location feature ?, can you share some document …
Sorry i am bit new and just started exploring it … by smart class you
mean … go to Puppet Classes, click on class and there, i found option for
smart class parameter ? so i have to define that in ntp manifest ? ( i
did not understand that +Add Matcher value, if that's where i need to
assign it ? )

DJ

please ignore my previous comment, i found how to create new location.
now i have assigned host1 to AP and host2 to EU… in puppet classes ->
smart parameters i have created matcher and defined
location=EU values=["1", "2", "3"] and added one more matcher location=AP
values=["4","5","6"] … Still after puppet run i dont see change on NTP
servers
one more issue is, after assigning location to particular host …if i
change host to different location it gives me error " Cannot Update
Location to "AP" because of mismatch in settings" … what it's referring
to ? how do i debug it ?

If you're using Foreman's locations feature, then you could set a smart
class parameter matcher on your "ntp" Puppet class's server parameter
based on the location.
In Foreman 1.4, you can also set global parameters on the location
itself, but if you're configuring NTP via Puppet then global parameters
are discouraged. (Smart) class parameters should be better.
If you're not using locations, you could use subnets, domains, host
groups or even a custom fact (say, based on hostname) inside your smart
class parameter matchers.

Use host groups.
