Setup steps: Give DumbMonit access to the Plex server
In Plex Web, open Settings → Network and click Show Advanced.
Add the DumbMonit address to List of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth, then save.
10.0.0.20/32In DumbMonit, enter the server's address and pick No token.
If DumbMonit is not on your network, use the owner's token instead: open a movie → ⋯ → Get Info → View XML and copy X-Plex-Token from the page address.
Heads-up. The token is your Plex account's and can manage the server and every library: prefer the allowed network when DumbMonit is on your own network.
