(and there is no way to turn it off.)

Error — Perl execution failed
Require virtualmin-nginx/status_monitor.pl failed : Died at (eval 908) line 1.
Here’s a screen shot of System and Server Status. As you can see I cannot turn this off, so I get an email every 5 minutes reporting this error.
1) Find the offending monitor definition (filename is a random-looking id)
ls -l /etc/webmin/status/
grep -ril nginx /etc/webmin/status/
2) Move it out of the way (mv, not rm, so you can put it back later)
mkdir -p /root/webmin-status-bak
mv /etc/webmin/status/<file from step 1> /root/webmin-status-bak/
3) Clear Webmin’s caches
rm -f /var/webmin/module.infos.cache
rm -rf /tmp/.webmin/*
4) Restart Webmin
systemctl restart webmin
