I updated to the latest, deleted the host, and re-monitored the host and port bandwidth and I still get the exact same messages...

this isn't a Nagios XI release version this is Nagios Core's version

Additionally, I believe because you are not on the latest version of XI, you may be experiencing a bug in previous versions of MRTG as the current version XI used is mrtg-2.17.4

Here are upgrade instructions
