Configuring [Sonarr](https://sonarr.tv/) is optional but will allow you to send shows to a Sonarr instance when they're found missing while updating a library's collections.
Sonarr V2 may work, but it is not supported please upgrade to V3 if you can.
A `sonarr` mapping can be either in the root of the config file as global mapping for all libraries, or you can specify the `sonarr` mapping individually per library.
At the library level, only those settings which are different to the global settings need to be specified; there is an example of this at the end of the page.

In this example we have two Sonarr instances, standard and 4K, with five libraries that override various details. Also, shows are being added to the "Library05" library outside Sonarr via a custom script and I want those new shows added to Sonarr for tracking.
