About creating a metricset issue

[Pikachu_TEX (Justex)]

i refer to metricbeat document

Run the following command inside my beat directory:
#make create-metricset

The results are as follows:

[elk@oam2 metricbeat-5.0.1-linux-x86_64]$ make create-metricset
make: *** No rule to make target `create-metricset'. Stop.

How to solve this problem?

Do you have call make-setup before? It should rather ask you to create a metricbeat module and and a metricset. See here for further informations.

Did you download the beats source code or a binary package?

I think your beat was not copied to the correct GOPATH: https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/GOPATH

Please do not share log output as screenshots. This is very hard to read and impossible to search. Use a gist for that and link it here.

HI ! this is my GOLANG export :
#export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
#export GOBIN=$GOROOT/bin
#export PATH=$PATH:$GOBIN
#export GOPATH=/mnt/wwwroot/gofile

then i refer the doc

#cd /mnt/wwwroot/gofile/src/github.com/elastic/
and run command #go get github.com/elastic/beats/metricbeat
And then generate the file
Is this right??

[ruflin]

Looks ok. But which path are you in when you do ls. NO screenshots please

[Pikachu_TEX (Justex)]

Oh, sorry
Is this right?

[ruflin]

Did you just post a screenshot again?

Run the command pwd and post the output as text.

Can you perhaps elaborate on what metricset you plan to create?

[Pikachu_TEX (Justex)]

En.. I just want to monitor Oracle weblogic with metricbeat. ... create a weblogic module but no detailed references found

@Pikachu_TEX What is it with your screenshots? Can you please stop doing that?

You seem to be in the elastic directory. Now doing cd beats/metricbeat should bring you to the metricbeat directory. There you can run make create-metricset and start the development.

sorry i learn ELK was not for long
As your said, I seem to know how to do it.
if encounter problems again， i will ask you
