Exchange templates
These SAM application monitor templates allow you to monitor counters and services for Microsoft Exchange.

Basic versus Advanced templates
These templates are divided into two categories:
- Basic Services and Performance Counters
- Advanced
The templates in the Basic Services and Performance Counters category contain templates with basic counters and services for monitoring 2013 and 2016 versions of Exchange. These templates should work out of the box. Counters in this category have well documented thresholds and do not require any additional configuration.
Templates in the Advanced category contain other performance and statistics counters. You can use these templates in addition to the basic templates if details from the basic templates are not sufficient to monitor the server. The advanced templates are provided for a specific Exchange version, as indicated by the template name. Some counters require manual configuration, such as specific instances, correcting thresholds for your environment, and so forth.
