Launch Tensorboard What-If Tool

I want to use Tensorboard's new What-If tool but don't understand how I launch or install the plugin.

I have followed the model and data steps outlined here and am stuck at the "open this tool" part. 🙈

I have the latest version of Tensorboard installed (1.11.0). Have cloned the Tensorboard repo and can successfully build and run the demo apps. When I launch Tensorboard, the interactive-inference plugin doesn't appear in the dashboard but there aren't any bazel py_binary's to execute in the plugin repo to build from source.

I'm sure it's something small I'm missing, but can't find any docs online to help.

Solution

  • Once inside the tensorboard repo, enter

    bazel run //tensorboard -- --logdir /tmp/mylogs

    with /tmp/mylogs being your log directory.

    This will open a port for tensorboard with the what-if plugin which you can access via http://localhost:6006/#whatif
