Node config - Which traces to enable?

Staking & Delegation Operate a Stake Pool
1

I noticed I was missing a few metrics in Prometheus so I went to enable some more of the traces on my Cardano node but it is difficult to determine which ones I needed to enable. I just set all to true for now but Im sure Im gonna get bombarded with a bunch of unnecessary metrics.

Out of the traces available in the config file, which are the more important ones to enable for the relay and block producing node?

There’s also the option:

    "mapSubtrace": {
      "cardano.node.metrics": {
        "subtrace": "Neutral"
      }

for which I would like know what the values of subtrace are/do.
