# Verification & First Test

Run through this checklist to confirm every part of the stack is working before using it regularly.

## Service health check

Open each web UI and verify it loads without errors:

| Service | URL | Expected |
|---------|-----|----------|
| SABnzbd | `http://<ip>:8080` | Dashboard loads, no warnings |
| Prowlarr | `http://<ip>:9696` | Indexers show green status |
| Sonarr | `http://<ip>:8989` | No system messages in red |
| Radarr | `http://<ip>:7878` | No system messages in red |
| Seerr | `http://<ip>:5055` | Shows your Plex libraries |
| Plex | `http://<plex-ip>:32400/web` | Server appears under your account |

## End-to-end test

### 1. Request something in Seerr

Search for a movie you want and submit a request. If auto-approve is enabled, it goes immediately to Radarr.

### 2. Confirm Radarr received it

In Radarr, go to **Movies** and find the title. Check **History** for a search attempt. It should show "Grabbed" within a few minutes.

### 3. Confirm SABnzbd is downloading

In SABnzbd, the **Queue** tab should show the active download. Watch the download progress.

### 4. Confirm Radarr imports it

When SABnzbd finishes, Radarr picks up the file. In Radarr, check **History** — the entry should change from "Grabbed" to "Imported".

### 5. Confirm Plex has it

Open Plex and go to your Movies library. The movie should appear within a minute of Radarr's import. If Plex was notified correctly, it appears immediately. If not, trigger a manual scan from Plex settings.

## What a successful test looks like

```
Seerr → request approved
Radarr → grabbed release via Prowlarr + DrunkenSlug/NZBgeek
SABnzbd → downloaded and unpacked
Radarr → imported to /mnt/media/movies
Plex → scanned and available to stream
```

If the chain breaks at any step, check the [Troubleshooting](/docs/home-server/media-automation/operations/troubleshooting) page.

## Setup complete

The media stack is fully operational. From this point, the only manual step is requesting content in Seerr — everything else happens automatically.
