We demonstrate theoretically that atomistic spin dynamics simulations of topological magnon insulators (TMIs) provide access to the magnon-mediated transport of both spin and heat. The TMIs, modeled by kagome ferromagnets with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, exhibit nonzero transverse-current correlation functions from which conductivities are derived for the entire family of magnon Hall effects. Both longitudinal and transverse conductivities are studied in dependence on temperature and on an external magnetic field. A comparison between theoretical and experimental results for Cu(1,3-benzenedicarboxylate), a recently discovered TMI, is drawn.
