Start or stop monitoring
set_monitoringTurn monitoring on or off for Sonarr and Whisparr series, seasons, or episodes, and Lidarr albums or artists, with preview-first confirmation before changes apply.
Instructions
Turns monitoring on or off. Sonarr and Whisparr: a series (by id or title), one season, or episodes (not both). Lidarr takes level: album sets one album's flag; artist sets the artist flag and monitor_new_items (none is the only value that stops the wanted list growing by itself), and omitting artists reaches every artist. The artist flag is not the album flag: an unmonitored artist's albums drop out of get_wanted but keep their own flags and come back with the artist, so stop wanting one album with level: "album" (ids from get_media_details on the artist, or a get_wanted albumId). Radarr monitoring is update_media. Unmonitor before delete_episode_files, or Sonarr downloads the files again. Safe tier. The preview shows the current state; a season, episode or artist that does not exist is refused rather than silently written. Previews first; confirm to apply. Field reference: arr://docs/set_monitoring.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | No | The series id within that service, or the album id when service is lidarr, as an integer string. Required everywhere except the lidarr artist level, where it is refused. | |
| level | No | lidarr only, and required there: whether `id` names an album or an artist. Refused on every other service. | |
| title | No | Sonarr or Whisparr: a series title in place of `id`. A title two series match equally is refused with both ids. | |
| season | No | One season. 0 is specials. Omit for the whole series. On Whisparr a season is a release year, e.g. 2019. | |
| artists | No | lidarr artist level only: artist ids, as integer strings. Omit to apply to every artist in that Lidarr. | |
| confirm | No | The token from this tool's preview, passed back verbatim to apply it. Single-use and bound to the previewed arguments. | |
| dry_run | No | Preview without a confirm token, for "what would happen if" questions; not the first step of a real change. | |
| service | Yes | ||
| episodes | No | Specific episode ids, as integer strings. Mutually exclusive with `season`. | |
| instance | No | Which instance (e.g. "4k") when several of this service exist. Omit it when there is one. | |
| monitored | No | true to monitor, false to stop. Required except on the lidarr artist level, where it sets each artist's own flag, which decides whether Lidarr wants any of its albums, and may be given alone or with `monitor_new_items`. | |
| monitor_new_items | No | lidarr artist level only: the standing rule for albums Lidarr discovers later. `none` is what a finished, stable library wants. |
