You can monitor and manage applications with the AWS Panorama API.

## View applications


To get a list of applications running on an appliance, use the [ListApplicationInstances](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/panorama/latest/api/API_ListApplicationInstances.html) API.

```
$ aws panorama list-application-instances
    "ApplicationInstances": [
        {
            "Name": "aws-panorama-sample",
            "ApplicationInstanceId": "applicationInstance-ddaxxmpl2z7bg74ywutd7byxuq",
            "DefaultRuntimeContextDevice": "device-4tafxmplhtmzabv5lsacba4ere",

To get more details about an application instance's nodes, use the [ListApplicationInstanceNodeInstances](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/panorama/latest/api/API_ListApplicationInstanceNodeInstances.html) API.

## Manage camera streams


You can pause and resume camera stream nodes with the [SignalApplicationInstanceNodeInstances](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/panorama/latest/api/API_SignalApplicationInstanceNodeInstances.html) API.

```
$ aws panorama signal-application-instance-node-instances --application-instance-id applicationInstance-ddaxxmpl2z7bg74ywutd7byxuq \
        --node-signals '[{"NodeInstanceId": "camera_node_override", "Signal": "PAUSE"}]'
{
    "ApplicationInstanceId": "applicationInstance-ddaxxmpl2z7bg74ywutd7byxuq"
}
```

In a script, you can get a list of nodes and choose one to pause or resume interactively.

**Example [pause-camera.sh](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-panorama-developer-guide/blob/main/util-scripts/pause-camera.sh) – usage**  

```
my-app$ ./pause-camera.sh

Signalling node warehouse-floor
+ aws panorama signal-application-instance-node-instances --application-instance-id applicationInstance-r3a7xmplcbmpjqeds7vj4b6pjy --node-signals '[{"NodeInstanceId": "warehouse-floor", "Signal": "PAUSE"}]'
{
    "ApplicationInstanceId": "applicationInstance-r3a7xmplcbmpjqeds7vj4b6pjy"
}
```

By pausing and resuming camera nodes, you can cycle through a larger number of camera streams than can be processed simultaneously. To do this, map multiple camera streams to the same input node in your override manifest.

In the following example, the override manifest maps two camera streams, `warehouse-floor` and `entrance-north` to the same input node (`camera_node`). The `warehouse-floor` stream is active when the application starts and the `entrance-north` node waits for a signal to turn on.

**Example [override-multicam.json](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-panorama-developer-guide/blob/main/sample-apps/aws-panorama-sample/graphs/my-app/override-multicam.json)**  

```

                "launch": "onAppStart"
            },
            {
                "name": "entrance-north",

            }
        ],
        "nodeOverrides": [
            {
                "replace": "camera_node",

                    {
                        "name": "warehouse-floor"
                    },
                    {
                        "name": "entrance-north"
                    }
                ]
            }
```
