# Why events don't appear to be showing up in the event stream with my github integration ?

{% callout %}
# Important note for users on the following Datadog sites: us2.ddog-gov.com

{% alert level="info" %}
To find out if this integration is available in your organization, see your [Datadog Integrations](https://app.datadoghq.com/integrations) page or ask your organization administrator.

To initiate an exception request to enable this integration for your organization, email [support@ddog-gov.com](mailto:support@ddog-gov.com).
{% /alert %}

{% /callout %}

First you need to configure your GitHub integration, see [this dedicated documentation article](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/github.md).

Then, If you have setup your Webhook on the relevant GitHub repositories and you can see it sending data but events don't appear to be showing up in the event stream this might come from your Webhook settings:

Instead of having your Webhook configured with content-type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded

You should set your Webhook with content-type:application/json:

   alt="github_webhook_config" /%}

Once updated you should see events flowing normally in your Datadog application. If not, feel free to reach out directly to [us](https://docs.datadoghq.com/help/).
