+Alternatively, use the override to provide your own `AzureCosmosDbHealthCheckOptions` and configure the Containers to check:
+
+```csharp
+services.AddHealthChecks().AddCosmosRepository(optionsFactory: sp => new AzureCosmosDbHealthCheckOptions
+{
+    DatabaseId = "my-database",
+    ContainerIds = new[] { "Container1", "Container2" }

+Use `optionsFactory: null` to retain the default behaviour of the [HealthChecks.CosmosDb](https://github.com/Xabaril/AspNetCore.Diagnostics.HealthChecks/blob/master/src/HealthChecks.CosmosDb/README.md) package, and only call `CosmosClient.ReadAccountAsync()`.

+```csharp
+services.AddHealthChecks().AddCosmosRepository(optionsFactory: null);

 The Cosmos Repository Health package supports all of the existing functionality of Health Checks, such as failureStatus and tags, see the [Microsoft Documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/host-and-deploy/health-checks) for configuration details.
 
 Don't forget to map the health endpoint with:
