On a regular ubuntu/debian install, they'd be provided by the 
hobbit-plugins deb package (i.e. "apt-get install hobbit-plugins"). That 
package provides a number of client scripts that you'll find at e.g.

/usr/lib/xymon/client/ext/apt
/usr/lib/xymon/client/ext/libs

I'd start by just running those scripts manually to see if they work as 
expected or not.

The tests will then be configured to run periodically under xymon-client 
in the config files:

/etc/xymon/clientlaunch.d/apt.cfg
/etc/xymon/clientlaunch.d/libs.cfg

The default config shipped with the hobbit-plugins deb package is (I 
think) to enable those tests: check they're not "DISABLED", and look in 
the "LOGFILE" files referred to in those cfg files to see if there's 
anything useful.
