Hi,
i am creating a beat based on metric and follow this documentation
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/devguide/current/creating-beat-from-metricbeat.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/devguide/current/creating-beat-from-metricbeat.html)
But it gave me Kibana dashboards error:
```auto
vendor/github.com/elastic/beats/v7/metricbeat/Makefile:82: warning: overriding recipe for target 'integration-tests'
vendor/github.com/elastic/beats/v7/libbeat/scripts/Makefile:216: warning: ignoring old recipe for target 'integration-tests'

Unknown target specified: dashboards
make: *** [kibana] Error 2
Error: running "make update" failed with exit code 2
```
How to get rid of this error ?
