Ok, this is from Nagios 1.2...

You've got a state retention file you set up in the main configuration 
file. This is a text file, one line per information item.

In xdata/xrddefault.c about line 200 you see how the data is read, and 
you find that, for example, notifications_enabled is the 12th field for 
a service. Counting "SERVICE: name" as one field, and assuming I counted 
correctly.

Looks like an easy enough job for grep, sed, awk, perl, bash or whatever 
script language you prefer.
