The cloud tab in 3Delight Display is a general monitoring tool of your ongoing cloud renderings. It monitors not only the rendering as it happen in 3Delight Display's image view, but any cloud rendering happening under your account – such as renderings launched using the command lines and renderings launched using other applications or on another computer at another location.
