Why one account helps
When the scheduler, the monitors and the status page live in different places, you connect them yourself and hope the connections hold. Here they are the same system.
Put a heartbeat or uptime monitor on a page and its state and uptime appear on it. Nothing to wire up.
Jobs and monitors send to the same email, Slack, Discord, Telegram or webhook channels.
Maps, tags, bulk actions, a test button and history work the same everywhere.
Plan downtime once and alerts are held across jobs and monitors, while the outage is still recorded.
