Protocol](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main/specification/protocol/README.md)
(OTLP) exporter.

### Traces
The application in `grpc_main.cc` initializes an `OtlpGrpcExporter` instance,
the application in `http_main.cc` initializes an `OtlpHttpExporter` instance.
The application in `http_log_main.cc` initializes an `OtlpHttpLogExporter` instance,
the application in `grpc_log_main.cc` initializes an `OtlpGrpcLogExporter` instance.
And they register a tracer provider from the [OpenTelemetry
SDK](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp). The application then
calls a `foo_library` which has been instrumented using the [OpenTelemetry
API](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/tree/main/api).

### Logs
The application in `http_log_main.cc` initializes an `OtlpHttpLogExporter` instance,
the application in `grpc_log_main.cc` initializes an `OtlpGrpcLogExporter` instance.
And they register a logger provider from the [OpenTelemetry
SDK](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp). The application then
calls a `logs_foo_library` which has been instrumented using the [OpenTelemetry
API](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/tree/main/api).

### Metrics
The application in `grpc_metrics_main.cc` initializes an `OtlpGrpcMetricExporter` instance.
And it registers a meter provider from the [OpenTelemetry
SDK](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp). The application then
calls a `metrics_foo_library` which has been instrumented using the [OpenTelemetry
API](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/tree/main/api).

### Enable SSL/TLS
To enable TLS authentication for OTLP grpc exporter, SslCredentials can be used
by specifying the path to client certificate pem file, or the string containing
this certificate via OtlpGrpcExporterOptions. The path to such a .pem file can be
provided as a command-line argument alongwith the collector endpoint to the main
binary invocation above.

### Running OpenTelemetry Collector as docker container
Resulting spans are exported to the **OpenTelemetry Collector** using the OTLP
exporter. The OpenTelemetry Collector can be configured to export to other
backends (see list of [supported

Note that the OTLP gRPC and HTTP exporters connects to the Collector at `localhost:4317` and `localhost:4318/v1/traces` respectively. This can be changed with first argument from command-line, for example:
