I am trying to connect my local Postgresql Database to Elasticsearch via a connector on my Windows machine.

I have set up Elasticsearch and Kibana via Docker.

I am currently following this link [Running from the source code | Enterprise Search documentation [8.13] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/enterprise-search/8.13/connectors-run-from-source.html) to set up my postgresql connector.

I have cloned the repository and tried to run `make config`

but I get this error `make: *** No rule to make target `config'. Stop.`

It seems like there is no command `config` in the makefile.

Is the link I am following to setup my connector outdated? If so what should I do to get the connector up and running?

Hey @Lim_Rik thank you for spotting this in our docs. Yes it's a bug and we will fix this. The command should be `make config.yml` and it essentially creates and populates the `config.yml` with the default values from `config.example.yml` (you still need to edit those).

In order to get your connector running you can navigate to `Kibana -> Search -> Connectors` Select self-managed Postgresql connectors, and generate the config and copy it and paste it into `config.yml` file in the root our your connectors repo.
