Tracearr
Real-time monitoring for Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby. One dashboard for all your servers.
Tracearr is a free, open-source monitoring platform that gives you complete visibility into your media servers. Track streams in real-time, analyze playback patterns, and detect account sharing, all from a single interface.
Why Tracearr?
If you run multiple media servers, you’ve probably dealt with this: Tautulli only works with Plex. Jellystat only works with Jellyfin and Emby. Multiple servers means multiple dashboards.
Tracearr handles all three. One install, one interface.

Key Features
Real-Time Monitoring
- Live Session Tracking: See every active stream instantly with WebSocket updates
- Instant Jellyfin & Emby: Push-based session updates with the optional SSE plugin
- Multi-Server Dashboard: Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby unified in one view
- Interactive World Map: Visualize where streams originate globally
- Server Resources: CPU and memory charts per server. Plex reports its own numbers; Jellyfin and Emby need the SSE plugin
Account Sharing Detection
Ready-made automations flag suspicious activity:
- Impossible Travel: NYC then London 30 minutes later? Flagged.
- Simultaneous Locations: Same account streaming from two cities at once
- Device Velocity: Too many unique IPs in a short time window
- Concurrent Streams: Set per-user stream limits
- Geo Restrictions: Flag streams from countries you block
- Account Inactivity: Flag accounts that go unused for a set number of days
Tracearr ships more ready-made automations, and the template gallery has ones you can import.
Analytics & Insights
- Watch History: Complete session history with device and location data
- Stream Analytics: Transcode vs direct play, bandwidth, codec breakdowns
- Media Catalog: One record per title across every server, matched by IMDb, TMDB, or TVDB ID, or by title and year
- Library Analytics: Storage predictions, duplicate detection, engagement metrics
- Seerr Requests: Link Seerr, Overseerr, or Jellyseerr to see who requested a title, when it landed, and whether they watched it
- Merged Users: Merge one person’s accounts on different servers into a single user. Tracearr suggests matches, and you can split an account back out
- Trust Scores: Automated scoring based on user behavior
Alerts & Integrations
- Notifications: Send to Discord, ntfy, Gotify, Apprise, Pushover, a JSON webhook, email, mobile push, or browser toasts. See Notification Destinations
- Newsletters: Email a server’s members a scheduled digest of what was added
- Public API: REST API for third-party integrations. The API reference is rendered with Scalar, and your own instance has it at
