Can I use TensorBoard with Google Colab?

Question

Is there any way to use TensorBoard when training a TensorFlow model on Google Colab?

Answer 1

I tried to show TensorBoard on google colab today,

# in case of CPU, you can this line
# !pip install -q tf-nightly-2.0-preview
# in case of GPU, you can use this line
!pip install -q tf-nightly-gpu-2.0-preview

# %load_ext tensorboard.notebook  # not working on 22 Apr
%load_ext tensorboard # you need to use this line instead

import tensorflow as tf

'################
do training
'################

# show tensorboard
%tensorboard --logdir logs/fit

here is actual example made by google. https://colab.research.google.com/github/tensorflow/tensorboard/blob/master/docs/r2/get_started.ipynb
