# Log Streaming
> Stream Pangolin log events to external collectors and SIEM tools
Fastest way to get started with Pangolin using the hosted control plane. No credit card required.
Log streaming sends your organization’s log events to third-party data collectors such as Datadog, Splunk, or Microsoft Sentinel—often used for SIEM-style monitoring and analysis. You define a destination, a delivery method (for example HTTP, S3, or a vendor-specific integration), and which Pangolin log types to forward: access logs, action logs, connection logs, or request logs. Pangolin pushes events to your external service as they are generated.
Log streaming is only available in [Pangolin Cloud](https://app.pangolin.net/auth/signup) or self-hosted [Enterprise Edition](/self-host/enterprise-edition).
## Event Streaming in the dashboard
In the dashboard, this feature appears under Organization → Logs & Analytics → Streaming as Event Streaming. From there you add destinations and configure how events are delivered.
## HTTP destination (example)
The steps below use an HTTP webhook only as an example. Other destination types (object storage, vendor APIs, and so on) follow the same general idea—pick a destination, configure connection details, and choose log types—but the exact fields and options differ by implementation.
### Choose a destination type
Open Add Destination and select how events should be delivered. HTTP webhook is one option; additional destination types may appear over time.
### Configure the connection
On the Settings tab, set a name, the endpoint URL, and authentication (none, bearer token, basic auth, or a custom header). Requests use JSON by default unless you change it elsewhere.
### Headers, body, and log types
* **Headers** — Optional custom headers on every request (for example static API keys or a non-default `Content-Type`). By default, `Content-Type: application/json` is sent.
* **Body** — Optionally use a custom JSON body template with variables; you can also choose how batched events are serialized (for example a JSON array versus newline-delimited JSON for tools that expect that format).
On the Logs tab, choose which log categories are forwarded to this destination. Only log types that are enabled for your organization can be streamed.
## Vendor-specific setups
