     Replace `0.0.0.0:4317` with the actual endpoint of the opentelemetry collector. If you launched the openTelemetry collector with tracing_compose.yaml, the default receiving port is 4317.
 
+    To use the HTTP/protobuf span exporter, set the following environment variable and point to an HTTP endpoint, for example, `http://0.0.0.0:4318/v1/traces`.
+    ```bash
+    export OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_PROTOCOL=http/protobuf
+    ```
+
+
 4. raise some requests
 5. Observe whether trace data is being exported
     * Access port 16686 of Jaeger using a web browser to visualize the request traces.
