Showing an Optical Receive Power (dBm) error through solarwinds...

I've got a Cisco IE 4000 running as one of my core's. On one of the trunking interfaces, solarwinds is throwing a warning at me about my Optical Receive Power..

So I get on the switch and run a show interfaces transceiver detail and do see that the interface is showing Optical Receive Power (dBm) value of -24 which is past the low warn threshold of -19 and low alarm thresh of -23.

What could cause it? Is it just bad optical? Do i need to have someone go out and clean the connector tips? Fiber is still new ish to me and was hoping someone who knew more could chime in. If we have to run another fiber....well...that's going to be a problem.
