Description

`KafkaMetrics` implementations do not appear to be exposed to all the Yammer metrics exposed to implementations of the `KafkaMetricsReporter`

Currently the docs only cover the `metric.reporters` which allows clients to configure a `MetricsReporter` plugin. Clients are then disappointed to learn that this affords them access to only a small subset of metrics.

Proper monitoring of the broker requires access to the Yammer metrics which clients can gain access to with a `KafkaMetricsReporter` plugin.
