From the api docs [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-indices-templates.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-indices-templates.html) it seems that you cannot get a list of templates that are active. I just couldn't remember whether I had set a template or not (which I found out of course by "guessing" the template name and doing a get request for it)... Is it there? I tried GET /\_template, but that's a 404. So I found it after al in the /\_cluster/state, but maybe the /\_template could be mapped to the map of templates? -- ---

IMHO it makes sense to have it. You should open an issue for it.
