There is ​this issue:

ZenMode plugin is not compatible with Piwik 2.15.0.
If you've been using this plugin, maybe you can find a more recent version in the Marketplace. If not, you may want to uninstall it.

I ​can't find a updated version so it has been removed.

The ​system check is OK, so closing this ticket.
