Graphite isn’t on by default so someone must have turned it on… you can go to the API -> /v2-beta/settings/graphite.host and delete the setting or update it to an IP that is actually running Graphite.

Thank you @vincent, deleting that setting and then removing and staring a new master (restarting the existing container) stopped that warning from appearing.
