No method currently exists that will get you this data. What you need
is a method that gets the list of IP services for the device for which
monitoring is enabled for. This list also needs to be formatted as a
comma delimited string to work in a custom device report. Fortunately
there exists an easy way to create your own methods to get at data
that isn't already accessible. Take a look at the following article I
just put up that explains how to do this.
