It would be nice to be able to get access to monitor over the web (through port mapping or something else), even without full access to features, changing job priority and progress reporting would be good.
Pulse has a webservice feature that could be utilized to whip up some basic web pages that show the job’s state and progress. However, that would require some custom scripting on your end.
There is also the Deadline Mobile app that an show job progress:

We’ve been getting a few requests for a proper web based monitor lately, but the main concern is determining which functionality should go in the web based version. We wouldn’t be able to fully port it over, so we definitely wouldn’t want it as a replacement to the current Monitor. Creating a read-only version is the logical first step, and is definitely something we will continue to consider. However, there currently aren’t any plans in the v7 roadmap to do this.
Cheers,
