Yes, you certainly can monitor from a cloud image.
In fact, because eValid is a complete browser, you can monitor any kind of web application from any place were a browser like eValid can run, which is a lot of different places.
For the special case when the execution is being done from a "remote machine" there are special commands and options in the eValid script/command language that help out:
* There is a complete batch/command line interface, so your copy of eValid that is running on a cloud machine can still run from that machine's Windows Scheduler.
* There are special commands, like SaveRecord, that help you construct a report file (e.g. a message you will be emailing) that has performance and other details about the test execution.
* There are special playback time commands like Email and SendFile that can be used to send a file that contains intermediate results back to the designated email account.
In effect, you can have your eValid copy running completely "freestanding" on a cloud image and have it report realistic end-user data on a continuous basis.
