There are a lot of metrics for exchange_monitor and most are collected for it via other probes.
The exchange_monitor probe uses the following probes to obtain this information or metrics:
- Performance metrics are captured by perfmon probe
- Services are captured by ntservices probe

It is important the latest revision of each is used.
I was not able to find an documents on best practices, and would recommend only enabling those metrics you know are needed.
Also recommended is to review each of the three ways of administering the probe, IM console configure, Admin Console configure, and MCS. They are not the same, one may have an option that is needed or desired which the others do not.
In general for many of the probes the IM & AC configure GUI was developed at different times, so often even they are not the same.
It is important that one is chosen and used, using more than one to configure a probe will usually result in problems.
