NMS says HighDiscardRate on an interface (I don't see an issue on the router)

My NMS (SMARTS) shows the following active alarm. I don't see any indication of a problem on the router but maybe I'm not using the right commands to see the problem.

Can someone help me understand this?

 

Alarm:

IF-*my router* /3 [Gi0/1]
HighDiscardRate
Interface_Performance_MIB2

 

Model and IOS

Discards almost always indicate bandwidth issue. But there is almost no traffic running through that interface.

 

Any event log messages being generated by the switch. To see if its just a temporary high discards?

 

 

 

 

This router handles management only. That's why the traffic level is low. There are no messages from the connected switch.

This has been active in my NMS for two weeks.
