 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

+### 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.
