is the vpn NAT-ed?

can you see the customer host directly or can you only see the vpn host 
and the customer host is hidden behind it?

If you can connect to the customer host directly, the proceed as you 
would for any other host.

If the customer host is hidden behind the vpn device and you cannot 
access it directly, then either you must forward ports
or you see if that customer host can see your nagios server and then set 
up passive host checks to send results back to your
nagios server. I can't think of any other way of doing it off the top of 
my head...
