| Sets the maximum number of services shown in the {{product.apm}} Service inventory. Values must be between 1 and 5000. Higher values slow down queries and use more memory on {{es}}. Above 2000 the query can exceed the `search.max_buckets` cluster setting, which defaults to 65536. |

Summary
Adds
observability:apmMaxNumberOfServicesto the Kibana advanced settings reference, next to its siblingobservability:apmServiceGroupMaxNumberOfServices.The setting was introduced in #293939 and caps how many services the APM Service inventory returns: default 1000, maximum 5000.
docs/reference/advanced-settings-space.ymlis hand-maintained and that PR didn't touch it, so the setting is currently missing from the reference.Closes elastic/docs-content#8694
