Monitoring cluster activity remotely

Is there a way to monitor a cluster's activity and job queue remotely/without logging into the master node of the starcluster?

Namely, I am interested in getting something akin to the output of qstat on the masternode but from a remote machine (e.g., the machine from which the starcluster was initiated). My goal is to write a script that can parse such output and remove nodes as appropriate for a given usage.

I've read the documentation for the built-in Elastic Load Balance, and although an awesome feature it won't work in my specific use case.
