This PR adds a deprecation doc, but there aren't any links included to it. I assume we should add links to make it easier to find?

[crobert-1]

I'm a bit confused by this guide, but I also don't have any experience with this receiver, so my questions and confusion may be totally off here. The receiver only supports logs, but the replacement guidance is to use a metrics receiver instead, will that provide the equivalent functionality here?

[akhileshsingh85]

@crobert-1 Can you suggest the alternative replacement guidance .

@dmitryax Can you confirm that the replacement guidance to use metric receiver is correct?

[dloucasfx]

I agree with @crobert-1 , the hostmetrics receiver is not a replacement because it sends metrics.
@akhileshsingh85 The decision to deprecate this is made after we've confirmed that no customer is using it.

[dmitryax]

We can just deprecate it with messaging saying something like :Contact Splunk support if you use this receiver" without mentioning any replacement

Updated the docs to remove the replacement statement.
