To Exhaust a monster, it has to get hit by attacks that inflict Exhaust Buildup. Exhaust is a unique status ailment that generally does not appear as an element on a weapon, but is inflicted with Blunt Damage.
Hitting monsters with a Hammer or Hunting Horn enough will cause the status to take effect, greatly reducing the monster's stamina and causing it to drool. Note that each successful status trigger will make monsters more resistant to that status.

Some Charge Blades and Switch Axes have access to Exhaust Buildup through Impact Phials and Exhaust Phials respectively, which work similarly to the Exhaust Buildup inflicted by Blunt Weapons.

Similarly, ranged weapons have Exhaust Ammunition and Exhaust Coatings that inflict the status Buildup on monsters. The former is available to Light and Heavy Bowguns, while Bows use the latter.
Triggering the Exhausted status on a monster greatly reduces its stamina, and can cause it to move slower and attack less frequently. It might also stand around, almost idly.
Some monsters have an innate resistance to being Exhausted, meaning that it will take significantly more Exhaust Buildup to trigger the status.
