This question can be solved in different methods. It all depends on the reason 
why you want ports, procs, & files removed. It would help us to answer your 
question, if you provide this information on your original query:

Senario 1: You have not set thresholds for these tests, thus you have alot of 
clear statuses that you want to not be displayed.
Answer: Edit server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg, scroll down to the [clientdata] 
section, add "--no-clear-files --no-clear-ports --no-clear-files". Note, if 
these clear statuses already show, after adding that setting you will need to 
drop those tests or they will go purple.

Senario 2:For a particular subset of servers, you do not want these tests to 
be processed or shown.
Answer: Use the bbtag "NOCOLUMNS:files,ports,procs" in the server/etc/bb-hosts 
file, to the particular set of servers. The same Note above applies.
 
Senario 3: You want to display the device on a page, but want to limit what 
tests are displayed.
Answer: the previous replies outlined the procedure.
