What's the feature?
As of now the SHOUTRRR notification is triggered only if there is an update (eg. IP change), this implementation is useful to know if and when an IP change as been detected.

It would be nice to also keep monitored if the process occurred with systems like https://healthchecks.io where a listener is configured to expect a "ping" and if it doesn't occur a warning is raised.

Extra information?
https://healthchecks.io like other SHOUTRRR endpoints, simply expect an HTTP POST.

The feature should ping the external system only if ddns-updater successfully completed a work cycle and even if no IP change was detected but the DNS lookup worked.

That's a cool tool I wasn't aware of! 👍
Is it always an https get request to https://hc-ping.com/xxx ? Right now I'm thinking to just have a HEALTHCHECKSIO_UUID configuration to do so, but I can make it a full URL if necessary.

It should be done in commit 91741a5aad (latest image and future release v2.6.0).
Use HEALTH_HEALTHCHECKSIO_UUID to set your uuid.
