If we upgraded our XI version so that NRPE was version 4, would this then get rid of the messages from the XI server and remote server logs?

Yes, if you upgraded the XI server's check_nrpe then it would stop those messages on both systems.

One thing to note though is that if you're checking any windows hosts through NSClient++ with check_nrpe v4 then those specific checks need -2 to remove a invalid message from the check output, the checks still work but the -2 gets rid of that invalid message, this is specific to NRPE windows hosts that use NSClient++.

If you have any of those, just go to Configure > Core Config Manager > Commands and copy the existing check_nrpe command those windows NSClient++ NRPE services are using, add a -2 to it, save, and then change the check command on the services to use that new one and apply config.
