Can't build Machinebeat from source

[cskowronnek]

First I changed beats version in go.mod from v7.6.1 to v7.6.2+incompatible because it couldn't find 7.6.1
I also had to create a "v7" folder under /src.../beats and copy the libbeat folder into it because it couldn't find the sources.
I'm now stuck here (btw: what to enter for module name and metricset?)

You don't need to create a new metricset . So make create-metricset is not necessary.
If you would like to build it, just go into the machinebeat folder and use go build .. You may need to load the dependencies. Thats enough for now.

Can we close this one?

[cskowronnek]

Yes, I think so.
