Why deprecate the supervisord collector？

[yangfan-witcher]

Hello developers, I saw it in the update log of the latest v1.6.0 version on May 27：

”[CHANGE] Deprecate supervisord collector #2685”

we use this method heavily in our production environment ， Please allow me to take the liberty to ask why this is ？

We have decided that process supervisors are out of scope for the node_exporter. They were added at a time when we didn't have a good guidelines and practices. It lead to a number of collector functions that should have been separate exporters.

Supervisors like runit and supervisord fall into that category, because there can be multiple supervisors installed on a given node.

Do we have any recommended alternatives for the supervisord collector if it's deprecated?
