Logging with Tensorboard

W&B Help
1

I am trying to run the demo code from Demo_tensorboard.ipynb so that I can learn more about the use of Tensorboard in combination with W&B. Unfortunately this code throws this warning:

WARNING When using several event log directories, please call wandb.tensorboard.patch(root_logdir="...") before wandb.init

When I implement the suggested change with:

wandb.tensorboard.patch(root_logdir="./logs/debug")

I get the following warning:
Found log directory outside of given root_logdir, dropping given root_logdir for event file in i:\tinyml\tiny_cnn\wandb\run-20221016_205607-22b9tlzf\files\train

So my questions is: What is a suitable root_logdir for Tensorboard?

Thanks for your support.

Hi Susanne,

Thanks for writing in! The root_logdirargument is the path to the root of all tfevent files, so you can use the wandb project folder (in this case I think it is I:/tinyml/tiny_cnn). Could you try if setting this solves the issue?

Best,
Luis

Setting root_logdir = os.getcwd() actually solved the issue.

Thanks for the support.
