Is there a template repository that or forum for template exchange? I'm thinking mostly of device templates but sensor, report and map templates would also welcome a good exchange.

For instance, we have built a custom template for our Cisco PIX/ASA firewalls that shows us current and max-ever connections, current number of VPN sessions, number of currently shunned IPs, number of denise per second, etc. Once we had one firewall working we saved the template and now use it whenever we add a new ASA to the network.

Similarly, our default windows template is quite a bit different that what PRTG does if you leave it alone during a discovery. It'd be nice to have a place where people can share their own ideas of what a "standard" set of monitoring metrics are for things like Windows, Linux, SAN switches etc.

Thanks for your suggestion!

If you have a good template for any device, we would be happy to review it and quite likely would add it to PRTG's built-in template set. If that's ok for you, please send your template to support@paessler.com

Alternatively I could add you as a submitter on our Google Code project where you can upload your template yourself. Please also write to support@paessler.com about it.

I agree that there should be some "try at your own risk" library of user uploaded templates. One thing that seems to be lacking with PRTG is the user community sharing their own innovations. Instead it seems like we have to wait for official Paessler releases.
