How is everything going? vs How is everything going on?

These are both correct phrases, but they are each used in their own distinct contexts. 'How is everything going?' is a common informal greeting to ask about someone's well-being or progress. 'How is everything going on?' is much less common and could be used to inquire about a specific situation or event that is currently happening.
