 ### OpenTelemetry Protocol
 
 - Add environment variables for configuring the OTLP exporter protocol (`grpc`, `http/protobuf`, `http/json`) ([#1880](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/pull/1880))
+- Change OTLP/HTTP port from 4317 to 4318

 | Endpoint (OTLP/gRPC) | Target to which the exporter is going to send spans or metrics. The endpoint SHOULD accept any form allowed by the underlying gRPC client implementation. Additionally, the endpoint MUST accept a URL with a scheme of either `http` or `https`. A scheme of `https` indicates a secure connection and takes precedence over the `insecure` configuration setting. If the gRPC client implementation does not support an endpoint with a scheme of `http` or `https` then the endpoint SHOULD be transformed to the most sensible format for that implementation. | `https://localhost:4317` | `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_ENDPOINT` `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_METRICS_ENDPOINT` |
