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](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](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:

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

```
