+Add additional services
+============================================
+
+If you want to collect data from other Azure services you need to add them as a custom service in the UI, or with the field ``additionalServices`` if you're using the API. Splunk Observability Cloud syncs resource types that you specify in services and custom services. If you add a resource type to both fields, Splunk Observability Cloud ignores the duplication.
+
+Any resource type you specify as a custom service must meet the following criteria:
+
+* The resource must be an Azure GenericResource type. 
+  
+  * If the resource type has a hierarchical structure, only the root resource type is a GenericResource. For example, a Storage Account type can have a File Service type, which in turn can have a File Storage type. In this case, only Storage Account is a GenericResource.
+
+* The resource type stores its metrics in Azure Monitor. To learn more about Azure Monitor, refer to the Microsoft Azure documentation.

 Every metric can either be a counter or a gauge, depending on what dimension is being looked at. If the MTS contains the dimension ``aggregation_type: total`` or ``aggregation_type: count``, then it is sent as a counter. Otherwise, it is sent as a gauge. To learn more, see :ref:`metric-types` and :ref:`metric-time-series`.
