Hi,

hiding them alltogether can be done by changing the access to those 
services through cgi.cfg and ownership.

Another way to hide these services, is to set the serviceprops on the 
status.cgi.

serviceprops takes a binary input (1, 2, 4, 8, 16 etc), which can be 
combined by adding up the numbers (eg 2+4+16 = 22), each binary value 
has it's own setting that you can filter with.

If you want to see services on all hosts that has notifications enabled, 
access https://path.to/nagios/status.cgi?host=all&serviceprops=8192j

If you want to see problem services that has notificaations enabled you 
can use something like this:
https://path.to/nagios/status.cgi?host=all&type=detail&servicestatustypes=16&hoststatustypes=3&serviceprops=8202&servicestatustypes=28

btw, I havn't found any documentation on this part of the cgi's 
functionality, is this documented anywhere, or should I try to find some 
time to make a patch for the docs section ?
