 # monitarr
 
+A utility to remove and block stalled downloads in `lidarr`, `radarr` and `sonarr`.
+`monitarr` will check for stalled downloads by keeping track of the bytes
+transferred over a given time period (`timeout_minutes`). If no change in
+transferred bytes is detected, it will remove and block the stalled download
+and then initiate a search for a replacement.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+monitarr -b -i <index> -id <record id>
+  # blocklist and search record id at configuration index
+
+monitarr -c
+  # display configuration
+
+monitarr -h
+  # display help
+
+monitarr -l -i <index>
+  # display server queue at configuration index
+
+monitarr -r
+  # run monitarr server
+
+monitarr -s -i <index> -id <record id>
+  # show record id details at configuration index
+
+monitarr -t
+  # test all server connectivity
+```
+
+## Initial setup
+
+* Execute `monitarr -c` to create and display the initial configuration
+* Modify the `config/monitarr.json` file to add your servers. The `id` field must
+contain `lidarr`, `radarr` or `sonarr` but may include other characters to
+uniquely identify the server instance for multi-server setups. Example:
+
+```json
+{
+  "check_interval_minutes": 5,
+  "server_list": [
+    {
+      "api_key": "<my api key>",
+      "api_version": "v1",
+      "id": "lidarr 1",
+      "timeout_minutes": 1440,
+      "url": "http://localhost:8686"
+    },
+    {
+      "api_key": "<my api key>",
+      "api_version": "v1",
+      "id": "lidarr 2",
+      "timeout_minutes": 1440,
+      "url": "http://localhost:8687"
+    },
+    {
+      "api_key": "<my api key>",
+      "api_version": "v3",
+      "id": "radarr",
+      "timeout_minutes": 1440,
+      "url": "http://localhost:7878"
+    },
+    {
+      "api_key": "<my api key>",
+      "api_version": "v3",
+      "id": "sonarr",
+      "timeout_minutes": 1440,
+      "url": "http://localhost:8989"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+* Execute `monitarr -r` to continuously monitor the configured servers.
