# Event streaming with Actions V2

## Learn how to use ZITADEL Actions V2 to stream events to third-party observability platforms in real time.

ZITADEL **Actions V2** introduce a flexible mechanism to **stream events to observability tools** like **Splunk**, **Datadog**, or any HTTP endpoint that supports JSON ingestion.

To start streaming events, follow these steps:

1. Create a **rest-async** target and enter the webhook URL to forward the events
2. Create the Action, select "events" and click "All"

This is a basic setup that will forward all the events within Zitadel for logging/monitoring.

[Request authentication:](https://zitadel.com/docs/guides/integrate/actions/usage#content-signing)

Each request includes a header called "zitadel-signature" that contains the HMAC value computed from the request content and a timestamp.

The following endpoint can be used to retrieve the Zitadel events:
