+#### API Misuse Logging
 
-* The code in this module is the implementation of stable OpenTelemetry signals.
-* Semantic Conventions for OpenTelemetry are in the `opentelemetry-semconv` module.
-* The default implementation of the interfaces in this module is in the OpenTelemetry SDK module.
-* The interfaces in this directory can be implemented to create alternative
-  implementations of the OpenTelemetry library.
+API misuse information is logged under logger named `io.opentelemetry.ApiUsageLogging`.

-#### Logging API mis-use
-Define `logging.level.io.opentelemetry.ApiUsageLogging=TRACE` to enable TRACE logging for invalid API calls.
+To access, enable `FINEST` level logs.

 # OpenTelemetry - Zipkin Span Exporter
 
-[![Javadocs][javadoc-image]][javadoc-url]
-
-This is an OpenTelemetry exporter that sends span data using the [io.zipkin.reporter2:zipkin-reporter](https://github.com/openzipkin/zipkin-reporter-java) library.
-
-By default, this POSTs json in [Zipkin format](https://zipkin.io/zipkin-api/#/default/post_spans) to
-a specified HTTP URL. This could be to a [Zipkin](https://zipkin.io) service, or anything that
-consumes the same format.
-
-You can alternatively use other formats, such as protobuf, or override the `Sender` to use a non-HTTP transport, such as Kafka.
-
-## Configuration
-
-The Zipkin span exporter can be configured programmatically.
-
-An example of simple Zipkin exporter initialization. In this case
-spans will be sent to a Zipkin endpoint running on `localhost`:
-
-```java
-ZipkinSpanExporter exporter =
-        ZipkinSpanExporter.builder()
-            .setEndpoint("http://localhost/api/v2/spans")
-            .build();
-```

 ## Attribution
 
 The code in this module is based on the [OpenCensus Zipkin exporter][oc-origin] code.

 ## Known Problems
 
 * OpenCensus links added after an OpenCensus span is created will not be
 exported, as OpenTelemetry only supports links added when a span is created.
