Getting ready

TensorBoard can be started using the following command in the terminal:

$ tensorboard --logdir home/log --port 6006 

The following are the major parameters for TensorBoard:

• --logdir : To map to the directory to load TensorFlow events
• --debug: To increase log verbosity
• --host: To define the host to listen to its localhost (127.0.0.1) by default
• --port: To define the port to which TensorBoard will serve

The preceding command will launch the TensorFlow service on localhost at port 6006, as shown in the following screenshot:

The tabs on the TensorBoard capture relevant data generated during graph execution.
