I have this problem often and always trust the router's interface statistics over monitoring software reports. get iperf (http://dast.nlanr.net/Projects/Iperf/) & generate large blasts of traffic through the link and see if you can cause the "discards" being recorded by the monitoring software to increment. This should help to determine if the discards are really just output drops related to bursts of traffic, in which case you can not worry about it or implement some sort of congestion management if it actually causes a problem.
