Issue description

The latest TB version generates a lot of log entries like this:

WARNING:tensorflow:FailedPreconditionError: AWS Credentials have not been set properly. Unable to access the specified S3 location
W0609 11:56:56.412047 123145556799488 checkpoint_management.py:295] FailedPreconditionError: AWS Credentials have not been set properly. Unable to access the specified S3 location
WARNING:tensorflow:s3://sagemaker-eu-west-1-XXX/logs/job_name/validation/../checkpoint: Checkpoint ignored

I do not write any checkpoints in my training script and the file above doesn't exist. Everything I think I want to see in TB is there, so I'm pretty sure AWS Credentials are set properly.

1) Am I missing anything any TB feature by not writing checkpoints? I don't intend to use Projector plugin.
2) How is TB coming up with this checkpoint path? I haven't specified it anywhere in the configuration. Or is it referenced somewhere in logs?
3) Is there a recommended way to structure model artifacts, logs and checkpoints that TB relies on?
4) Is it possible to make this error messages more descriptive?

Hi @yegortokmakov , this error seems to be stemming from within TensorFlow. Can you share the command you used to run TensorBoard? Thanks :)

[yegortokmakov]

hi @bileschi thanks for the reply!

This is the command: AWS_REGION={aws_region} tensorboard --logdir s3://{tensorflow_logs_path}

The logs do come from Tensorflow, but I could find references to "checkpoitns" only in projector plugin.

P.S. All code is available here: https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-sagemaker-examples/pull/1267

[bileschi]

Thanks, will investigate.
