You could probably do this very easily by using the windows NSCA agent in
combination with a small script that will send passive service checks to a
separate service ("Customer_Rating_" or similar?) that can then be
graphed. Problem is that these checks arrive out-of-order, IE they reflect
the state of the service over a longer period, with a large degree of
inaccuracy. Nagios I think is not really suited to gather and process
statistical data... It is in principal a status monitoring system
(monitoring the "Now" and perhaps keeping an archive of the
result/performance data).
You would need to write a big separate plugin (or daemon) to process the
statistical performance data. It goes away from the core functionality of
Nagios, so I think a separate system is probably a better idea (which you
can integrate with Nagios, like the way Nagiosgrapher or webinterfaces such
as Monarch do).
