Describe the problem

Initially I was working with tensorflow 1.0.0 and tensorboard seemed to work just fine. I have updated to 1.1.0 and now it appears it does not display anything anymore. However, I get the warning ‘WARNING:tensorflow:path …/external\data/plugin/text/runs not found, sending 404’. I have also downgraded tensorflow to 1.0.0 and now it also stopped working.

Same issue, mac 10.11, python3.5, TF 1.1.0. Solved by moving to the specific directory.

After I run python tensorflow-1.1.0/tensorflow/examples/tutorials/mnist/mnist_with_summaries.py I got two floder named train and test under the /tmp/mnist/logs/mnist_with_summaries.
train and test contains tf event file. Then I run tensorboard --logdir=/tmp/mnist/logs/mnist_with_summaries After opening the browser, there are no scalars at all. no info

But when I move to the directory /tmp/mnist/logs, and run tensorboard --logdir=mnist_with_summaries It works! working properly

I don’t know why this works. Maybe someone can tell me.

same issue, but tensorboard --logdir==training:log_dir --host=127.0.0.1 works for me (1.2.0rc1, windows 10, conda, py3.5.3)

I just want this issue to be resolved, going forward it should be in the interest of everyone to achieve a more permanent fix. In the mean time #9854 has a fix for getting tensorboard working for version1.1.0.
tensorboard --logdir==training:model_dir --host=127.0.0.1

I am also seeing the same thing 😦 Starting TensorBoard 47 at http://0.0.0.0:6006 (Press CTRL+C to quit) WARNING:tensorflow:path ../external/data/plugin/text/runs not found, sending 404 WARNING:tensorflow:path ../external/data/plugin/text/runs not found, sending 404 WARNING:tensorflow:path ../external/data/plugin/text/runs not found, sending 404 WARNING:tensorflow:path ../external/data/plugin/text/runs not found, sending 404 I see the tensorBoard at http://0.0.0.0:6006 no event data though

Same issue. And it was working properly this morning until suddenly I get this error. I’m on Ubuntu 16.04 with python 3.6 and tensorflow 1.7.0, GPU version. tensorboard --logdir==training:log_dir --host=127.0.0.1 worked for me. But absolutely no idea why it didn’t work and why it worked.

I was facing this problem on a Linux machine, I discovered that this happened because I was in the directory of logs folder and by going back to the parent directory, and then issuing the command tensorboard --logdir==training:path_to_logs/logs_folder_name --host=127.0.0.1 --port=6007 It worked fine.

Faced the same issue. I’m on Win10 with python 3.6 and tensorflow 1.6 GPU. I found the work around. It is opening GRAPHS with Edge. untitled

Even i had the same issue and i finally understood where i was wrong. In my case I was using ubuntu and the log folder was stored inside my project directory itself. So just navigate to the project directory from the terminal and type tensorboard --logdir=log

Having same issue using Keras callbacks to generate the TB file I see the events file in my logs dir and it seems to have a bunch in it (using vim to look at it) but get nothing on TB (py36) tom@tomServal:~/Documents/InfluenceH/Working_copies/Cond_fcast_wkg$ $ tensorboard --logdir==./logs --host=127.0.0.1 Starting TensorBoard b’47’ at http://127.0.0.1:6006 (Press CTRL+C to quit) WARNING:tensorflow:path …/external/data/plugin/text/runs not found, sending 404 WARNING:tensorflow:path …/external/data/plugin/text/runs not found, sending 404 WARNING:tensorflow:path …/external/data/plugin/text/runs not found, sending 404 WARNING:tensorflow:path …/external/data/plugin/text/runs not found, sending 404

Ubuntu 16.04 TF 1.1.0, 64 bit GPU installed using Pip into a Python 3.6 env on anaconda using the versions of Keras and Tensorboard in the Main Tensorflow distribution And I can’t find a work around here!

Faced this issue today but was able to correct it by changing the log directory to the base directory of my project instead of the checkpoint directory (another folder inside the project folder).

Basically changed from: tensorboard --logdir=/home/cc/Emotion/Emotion_checkpoints/ to tensorboard --logdir=/home/cc/Emotion/

arundasan91 on May 22, 2017

My tensorboard has the same questions, and it said the

----------------------------------------
WARNING:tensorflow:path ../external/data/plugin/text/runs not found, sending 404
WARNING:tensorflow:path ../external/data/plugin/text/runs not found, sending 404
WARNING:tensorflow:path ../external/data/plugin/text/runs not found, sending 404
WARNING:tensorflow:path ../external/data/plugin/text/runs not found, sending 404

and it is useless using the “training:model_dir” in the command line.

Looks like this known issue it was fix in a later version. Got mine working by - pip uninstall tensorflow then pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-0.11.0-py2-none-any.whl This is for python 2.7
