Dear MKessler
The Python example script can be found in C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\Custom Sensors\python
The SSH example script is not available, but you can get another example script here. The Advanced script sensors have to output an XML which conforms to the PRTG custom sensor API. That documentation is integrated into PRTG, menu Setup | PRTG API, tab "Custom Sensors".
