Is there a way to get notification/SMS/email about server down?

Server Version#: 1.19.1.2701

I recently got blue screen on my windows, but I didn’t figured it out yet.
So I wanted to know if there is possibility to set alerts for server down ?

If you are looking for a Plex monitor with notifications, then many use Tautulli. I don’t use it personally, but it is worth a look to see if it does what you want.

I wrote a shell script to run on my router that monitors if port 32400 is listening on my Plex server, and sends a text if it isn’t. It doesn’t do a deep check… if 32400 is listening, but Plex isn’t actually responsive it would not catch that, but it meets my needs. This script is fairly specific to my router…

To address your scenario where the computer running Plex isn’t functional at all, any monitoring tool would need to be running on another device than where Plex runs.

I use tautulli for that but also use uptime robot to externally monitor the port for Plex. That notifies me when the port stops listening.
