Here is a list of the available check commands and the packages they correspond to for Debian and RedHat based systems.
Depending on the major version some packages might not be available. For example nagios-plugins-game is available using Enterprise Linux 7 and 9 but not using Enterprise Linux 8.
A run will not fail because of that. Those requested checks are silently skipped.
Version specific differences in package names are also accounted for.
