Creating a custom metricset according to the document is not working in 7.8. It looks either documentation needs an update or something wrong with the Makefile [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/devguide/7.8/creating-metricsets.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/devguide/7.8/creating-metricsets.html) ``` make collect make: *** No rule to make target `collect'. Stop. ``` ---

Hi @chathsuom 🙂 Docs are a bit outdated because Elastic is changing things rapidly recently. If it's a custom metricset, a new metricset in a known module; the best way to get help is to open a PR in the Beats repo so that the community can help you ---
