To see what the copy on your machine says about itself, and to confirm it is installed at all:

Terminal window
cxg template info etcd-auth-check

The id it prints is the one to pass anywhere a template is selected. See cxg template for the rest of the subcommand, Scan a target for running a scan, and A match is not a finding for how to read what comes back.
