Unable to get consumer and producer metrics

[cli2s]

I'm attempting to use the latest version of kafka-statsd-metrics2(0.5.2) with my kafka 0.9.0.0.I added the code below to my kafka server.properties and started up zookeeper and my server.
kafka.metrics.reporters=com.airbnb.kafka.kafka08.StatsdMetricsReporter external.kafka.statsd.reporter.enabled=true external.kafka.statsd.host=localhost external.kafka.statsd.port=8125 external.kafka.statsd.tag.enabled=true external.kafka.statsd.metrics.prefix=myKafka external.kafka.statsd.metrics.exclude_regex=

However when I monitor the statsd metrics, I don't receive any metrics for kafka.consumer or kafka.producer among other missing metrics. What can I do to fix this issue? I look at the other issues and it seemed like the most common issue was not enabling tags, but I have enabled tags and it still hasn't solved the issue.

The way I am am monitoring the metrics is by running nc -l -u 8125.
