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.

Based on that UI, the settings would be [settings not based on things in this image are shown as `#`; url and token are of course required they are not shown here to focus on the settings that are shown above]:
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.
