# Insights

"Insights" help you access a high-level report on the monthly usage of your Appmixer instance: number of messages and message size. This view helps you see the performance of your Appmixer instance over time.

As you can see above, our Appmixer instance sends around 50 000 messages a month where one message has 230 bytes on average.

Let's clarify what a message means. The best explanation would be: "information in the JSON Object format that is sent from the *out port* to the *in port* in an Appmixer flow". The size of the message, of course, depends on the data size you're sending from one component to another.

[Next, we'll look at the "Flows" tab – a place where you can access all flows created in your Appmixer instance](https://docs.appmixer.com/kb/backoffice-features/flows).
