How to stop certain services from being monitored

We are trying out vFoglight with the Exchange cartridge and dont need the IMAP4 and POP3 services monitored and want to get rid of the alarms. How can we disable just those services from being monitored?

    It turns out that it was a Firefox thing and it wasn't showing all the services because the scroll bar wouldn't work. We had to stretch out the window to see everything and then were able to delete the 2 services. It worked in IE and support said IE is where they have the most issues. He also said Chrome works good and Firefox normally works good.
