Half of what you want (errors).
http://mrtg.gvolk.com/template/interface-errors.template

>From that above config, it is easy enough to modify a few lines for
discards (ifInDiscards / ifOutDiscards).
As I don't use MRTG (but instead Cacti) I'm not certain whether you could
just add two more "data sources" to the config at the above URL.

# modify to be
Target[$target_name]:
ifInDiscards.$if_index&ifOutDiscards.$if_index:$router_connect
<TR><TD>Description:</TD><TD> In/Out Discard counters </TD></TR>

Cacti has a template for errors/discards by default. (Not saying you should
or need to use it instead.)

Report back/post the working config end up with for the benefit of
everyone! :-)
