Baselines: Tensorboard logging

[hellandhansen]

Earlier versions you could do logging like this:

python train.py --num-workers 2 --env-id PongDeterministic-v3 --log-dir /tmp/pong

then starting Tensorboard and monitor progress.

It's probably just me, but with baselines.run I can't find a kwarg to specify the log directory/name or activate logging. And I haven't found any recent posts on Tensorboard / openai either.

There is a logger.py file, and a results_plotter.py. Probably I activate the logger with some kwarg, but how?

And is Tensorboard totally out of the picture now?

Kind regards

you need to set the OPENAI_LOG_FORMAT and OPENAI_LOGDIR environment variables, e.g.,

export OPENAI_LOG_FORMAT='stdout,log,csv,tensorboard'
export OPENAI_LOGDIR=....your_path...

exactly as @jramak has said :) I'll keep this open to add instructions to README

Thanks. That would be very helpful!

I really appreciate the approachability and helpfulness of you guys!

@pzhokhov I created a PR to include this in the README:

https://github.com/openai/baselines/pull/567

[jramak]

how do I link a PR to this thread rather than just refer to it in the comment?

nevermind, got it :)
