Hi Team,

I have created a custom filebeat on linux server using the below documentation available on elastic.

> **[Creating a New Filebeat Module | Beats Developer Guide \[master\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/devguide/current/filebeat-modules-devguide.html)**

I am able to send the log data using the custom module on linux, and visualize the same on Kibana.

But when I am trying to package the module and create a windows distribution for the same, using the below command, I am unable to do so. Kindly let me know what I am missing.

PLATFORMS=windows/amd64 make snapshot
