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.

Specifying a second Sonarr instance for a specific library:
In this example we have two Sonarr instances, standard and 4K. We want to add 4K shows to the 4K Sonarr instance with a different root folder and quality profile. Also, shows are being added to the "TV Shows - 4K" library outside Sonarr via a custom script and I want those new shows added to Sonarr for tracking.
