Google Colab and Kaggle notebook supporting Tensorboard

In the old days, to run Tensorboard on these env would involve running it as background task with shell command and then expose the URL using ngrok, pretty annoying as ngrok URL is not persistence and both the kernel and ngrok timeout and need to set up again

Now it’s native support as follow:

Kaggle

command:

%load_ext tensorboard.notebook
%tensorboard — logdir logs

Google Colab

command:

%load_ext tensorboard

%tensorboard — logdir logs
