- Update to v1.20.0 (go.d.plugin v0.15.0)
Breaking Changes:
  * Removed deprecated bash collectors apache, cpu_apps, cpufreq,
    exim, hddtemp, load_average, mem_apps, mysql, nginx, phpfpm,

    collectors with custom configurations, you can find the new
    collector that replaces it in the supported collectors list.

    + Started passing labels and container environment variables
      via the streaming protocol
    + Started sending host labels via exporting connectors
    + Added label support to alarm definitions and started
      recording them in alarm logs
