# Troubleshooting & FAQs
|
|
|
|
## Common Pitfalls
|
|
|
|
### Prowlarr is infrastructure, not media
|
|
|
|
Unlike radarr-cli, sonarr-cli, and lidarr-cli, prowlarr-cli doesn't browse or
|
|
add media. It manages the indexer layer that those apps use to find content.
|
|
|
|
### Indexer statistics may be empty on new setups
|
|
|
|
If Prowlarr was just set up or has few queries, `indexer-stats` may return
|
|
minimal data. This is normal — stats accumulate over time as searches run.
|
|
|
|
### Test all runs asynchronously
|
|
|
|
`prowlarr-cli test-all` triggers the command and returns immediately. The actual
|
|
tests run in the background. Check `prowlarr-cli indexer-status` to see results.
|
|
|
|
### Port 9696
|
|
|
|
Prowlarr defaults to port 9696 (not 7878, 8989, or 8686 like the other arrs).
|
|
|
|
## When Not to Use
|
|
|
|
- **Media search/download** — Prowlarr feeds indexers to other arrs but doesn't download media.
|
|
- **First-time Prowlarr setup** — install and configure Prowlarr first (prowlarr.com).
|
|
|
|
## FAQ
|
|
|
|
**Q: What's the difference between indexer-stats and indexer-status?**
|
|
A: `indexer-stats` shows cumulative query/grabs counts. `indexer-status` shows
|
|
current health (which indexers are disabled, when they'll retry).
|
|
|
|
**Q: Can I add or remove indexers with this CLI?**
|
|
A: Not yet. This CLI is read-only for now (list, inspect, test). Use the
|
|
Prowlarr web UI for adding/editing indexers.
|
|
|
|
**Q: How do I find an indexer's ID?**
|
|
A: Run `prowlarr-cli --json indexers | jq '.indexers[] | {name, id}'`
