Hi,

can we monitor hosts who are having Dynamic IP's with Ngios Log Server???

If yes then,
1 -- If we are monitoring two hosts who have switched IP between them how Nagios Log server will differentiate between them.

Yes, the hosts will be sending their logs. They also send their hostname/machine name defined on the server/workstation with most syslog or windows logs so you can use them to identify each workstation.
