# Serverpod Insights

https://docs.serverpod.dev/tools/insights

Serverpod has a companion app. It is currently available for Mac and Windows, but Linux is coming soon. The app has support for viewing your server's logs and health metrics, but we are adding many more features in version 1.2. You must use a version of the app that matches the version of Serverpod you use in your project, or not all features may work correctly.

## Database access

The Insights server also exposes endpoints that read and write your database directly (`fetchDatabaseBulkData`, `runQueries`, `getDatabaseRowCount`, and `executeSql`). The Insights app doesn't use them; they exist only to support custom tooling built on the `serverpod_service_client` package. They are disabled by default and throw an `AccessDeniedException` unless you explicitly enable them in the server configuration:

```yaml
insightsServer:
  port: 8081
  publicHost: localhost
  publicPort: 8081
  publicScheme: http
  enableDatabaseAccess: true
```

The same setting is available as the `SERVERPOD_INSIGHTS_SERVER_ENABLE_DATABASE_ACCESS` environment variable. Since the flag gives anyone holding the service secret full read and write access to the database, leave it off unless you have custom service client tooling that needs it.
