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](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/creating-beat-from-metricbeat.html#_step_3_init_and_create_the_metricset) for further informations. ---

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

Hi @Pikachu_TEX, you have to install git on your machine. ---

Hi i want ask some question ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Now i already get the metricbeat source code. then i creat the beat ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/7/77da231d624eaca8c8ab9a7dcbd4ad9ed1cb75d4.png) thats no problem. follow the doc ,Step 3 - Init and create the metricset i run make setup ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/0/0ced6e4764bf4d1780e7915b6720891ff6a6eb02.png) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/3/364ab4f649b50cad4cb3c80bf7893fe0777a4fe9.png) I do not know if this is right or wrong ๐Ÿ˜‚ isee the docs about creating a metricsetใ€‚ then run make collect & make ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/9/9df2c4f222145f441e2678ab216876ab57c5bb6f.png) so i would like to ask,where is wrong? ๐Ÿ˜“ plz teach me , Master! ---

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

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 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. ---
