What is happening or what are you doing. For instance someone says "hey what's going on?" they mean what is happening in your life.

I was riding in a taxicab this morning and there was a female dispatcher on the two-way radio. She was dispatching the cabs to various addresses and the usual dispatch chatter was going on. Suddenly, the dispatcher asked?... Michael Hunt, are you out there... Mike? Do you read me?... Mike Hunt, Mike Hunt... Come in, ... Come In... Come in Mike Hunt. I don't know why this seem so funny to me- it's just a persons name.
I couldn't stop laughing. I think something shot out of my nose!

It depends on how it is used.
"What's going on" means what is taking place or happening.
"I feel like going on" means I know I can complete or finish this task or mission.
"She was going on and on" means it was taking her a very long time to finish speaking.

What is happening?
What events are transpiring?
What is occurring?
Typically, the speaker is requesting to be informed regarding a situation they have just encountered.

Occurring, somewhere near the timeframe of this instant. Ie:
What's going on?
"What's happening right now-ish?"

If it were "goings on" it would imply events or happenings. If I were to write a windy response to this question you might say I was "going on"...
