hi,
I am using this guide in order to create my own beat.
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/devguide/current/setting-up-beat.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/devguide/current/setting-up-beat.html)
when i tried to run:
make setup
i get this error:
C:\go-work\src\[github.com](http://github.com)\githubid\networkdrivebeat\>make setup
C:\Go\bin\mage.exe
Unknown target specified: setup
Im running on windows.
do you know what can i do?
☹
Thanks!
Shani

I moved this into the #beats category, I am sure you will get some help here!
