Make collect and make don't exist in the makefile of the current version of meticbeat.

What do you mean by current? Master or 7.8.1?

I think you just need to update the reference to `ES_BEATS` in your makefile. Where does it point now? Are you using vendoring for dependencies? What Golang version are you using?

Tnx for your reply, I missed the email so didn't see the reply.

I have the original makefile that contains this:

```auto
ES_BEATS ?= ..

include $(ES_BEATS)/dev-tools/make/mage.mk

# Creates a new metricset. Requires the params MODULE and METRICSET

.PHONY: create-metricset

create-metricset:

mage createMetricset

```

I guess `ES_BEATS` is not pointing anywhere, what shuld it point to?  
Iv'e got go version go1.14.6 linux/amd64

I'm not sure exactly what is vendoring, but I'm using a clean branch and installation.

btw, I'm trying to cross compile on Linux for windows, since make collect wasn't working ( "make: \*\*\* No rule to make target 'collect'. Stop.") Iv'e been using `mage collectAll` in a build.sh file, but when I run it on windows I get an err `Exiting: 1 error: metricset 'system/tmp' not found`.  
Is it because I'm not using `make collect` or that is another issue?  
the is my build file content:

```auto
#!/bin/bash

mage collectAll
mage build
go build -o metricbeat_wmi main.go
GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -o metricbeat_wmi.exe main.go

```

it ended up being a version compatibility issue, I found that certain packages are keeped in different locations for different versions.  
Thank you.
