That's what it sounds like to me.  To remove the port test for Weblogic, 
open the the hobbit-client.cfg file on the Hobbit server, find the 
client config that corresponds to the hostname of the server showing up 
as red, and delete the PORT line for Weblogic.  It will probably look 
something like this:

PORT LOCAL=xxxxxxxx TEXT=Weblogic

Do you get weird values when the memory test status is green or yellow? 
  Can you post an example?

You cannot remove the yellow condition or change the color to green 
unless the system itself is no longer reporting memory levels that 
exceed the yellow alert threshold.  Either set the yellow alert levels 
higher or use 101, which prevents it from alerting on any value from 0-100.
