Debian's hobbit-plugins collection contains checks for apt as well as for yum:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://salsa.debian.org/debian/hobbit-plugins/tree/master/src/usr/lib/xymon/client/ext">https://salsa.debian.org/debian/hobbit-plugins/tree/master/src/usr/lib/xymon/client/ext</a>

If you're on Debian or a Debian derivative like Ubuntu, you can just
do "apt install hobbit-plugins" and the "apt" check is active by
default.

The yum check works fine on at least RHEL 6 and 7. Just copy it to the
proper directory and write a tiny .cfg file to activate it.

                Kind regards, Axel
