Plex Alerting Script - Log and Send Push Alerts On New Sessions

Dev Community Dev/API Corner

Hi

 

I whipped up this quick script to notify me whenever a new session is started on my Plex Server. I use it to monitor shared user activity. It is written in Python and uses https://pushover.net for alerting. The script has been tested on Plex Media Server 0.9.8.0 running on OS X. I have it scheduled to run periodically and so far it seems to work well. I'd be happy to hear any suggestions or feedback.

Hi, I tried this on OSX Mavericks running Plex 0.9.8.6 and it doesn't seem to do anything.  I entered all the values as indicated, bought the pushover app for iPhone, I then run the script via Terminal "python /location/of/Plexmon.py".  

Any ideas?

thanks.

I'm not sure if Victor is still maintaining this script or not but plexWatch was created based off of this script. Here are the links for plexWatch.

This script has been happily replaced by the great work of eleese and ljunkie at the links above!

I would highly suggest that you switch to using plexWatch found here: http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/72552-plexwatch-plex-notify-script-send-push-alerts-on-new-sessions-and-stopped/

plexMon is no longer being maintained.

PlexNotify is way nicer/easier IMO.https://forums.plex.tv/topic/93952-plex-notify-in-development/?view=findpost&p=576339&hl=%2Bplex+%2Bnotify
