Enroll missing

[bering (Kåre Bering)]

I am trying to create a new metricset with the Metricbeat 6.5.1 i have downloaded the sourcecode from here: https://github.com/elastic/beats/releases I can easily compile the metricbeat but running metricbeat --help shows this:

The Enroll option is missing, and when running the metricbeat 6.5.1 downloaded from https://www.elastic.co/downloads/beats running metricbeat --help shows this:

Does anyone know how I can get the enroll option in the beat that I compile?

Cheers

As enroll is an X-Pack feature, you need to compile the binary in beats-6.5.1/x-pack/metricbeat to get it. Otherwise you are just compiling the OSS version of Metricbeat.

Could you expand on this answer please? The only files I have in x-pack/metricbeat are cmd/root.go and main.go. What do I need to do to get the enroll compiled in?

Sorry for the huge delay.

You need to run the following commands:

cd ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/elastic/beats/x-pack/metricbeat
mage build
