I wish someone would build a template that would monitor _______

So APM 2.0 is just around the corner, and in addition to new monitors, it will include the ability to use WMI Performance Counters and scripts gather even more information. All of these monitor types can be combined into the templates for easy sharing on Thwack. APM can monitor pretty much anything, but I'm curious as to which templates you'd most like to see.

I would like to see a comprehensive Microsoft Exchange template. similar to the information that is gathered with the new Exchange Monitor tool. In addition, something along the same lines for Microsoft SQL. Something that can be used to accurately monitor potential performance bottlenecks on MSSQL Database servers.

These should be beyond the obvious process/service monitors, and leverage the new found WMI performance statistics to provide a holistic application performance template for these applications.

Ditto aLTeReGo's suggestion. Since Disk Queue Length is a big concern with SQL, this should most definitely be included in a SQL template.

I'm no firewall guy but I'd also like to see a template for Cisco ASA devices to include # of configured VPN tunnels, # of active VPN tunnels, individual tunnel name/identifier, local and far endpoint addresses, traffic stats (bytes & packets) per tunnel connection with event logging of tunnel activation/deactivation.

Denny, have you exhausted the suggestions in this other thread?

I most definitely have not exhausted the suggestions. I am still using those as a reference for our roadmap, but I posted the question in another way to try and capture more input.

Okay, just wanted to be sure you hadn't lost focus on them. Thanks!
