assign_backing_tensorboard

assign_backing_tensorboard(
    tensorboard: Union[
        google.cloud.aiplatform.tensorboard.tensorboard_resource.Tensorboard, str
    ]
)

Assigns tensorboard as backing tensorboard to support time series metrics logging.

tb = aiplatform.Tensorboard('tensorboard-resource-id')

my_experiment.assign_backing_tensorboard(tb)
Parameter
Name Description
tensorboard Union[aiplatform.Tensorboard, str]

Required. Tensorboard resource or resource name to associate to this experiment.
Exceptions
Type Description
ValueError If this experiment already has a previously set backing tensorboard resource.
ValueError If Tensorboard is not in same project and location as this experiment.

delete

delete(*, delete_backing_tensorboard_runs: bool = False)

Deletes this experiment all the experiment runs under this experiment

Does not delete Pipeline runs, Artifacts, or Executions associated to this experiment or experiment runs in this experiment.

my_experiment = aiplatform.Experiment('my-experiment')
my_experiment.delete(delete_backing_tensorboard_runs=True)
Parameter
Name Description
delete_backing_tensorboard_runs bool

Optional. If True will also delete the Tensorboard Runs associated to the experiment runs under this experiment that we used to store time series metrics.

get_backing_tensorboard_resource

get_backing_tensorboard_resource()

Get the backing tensorboard for this experiment in one exists.

my_experiment = aiplatform.Experiment('my-experiment')
tb = my_experiment.get_backing_tensorboard_resource()

get_data_frame

get_data_frame()

Get parameters, metrics, and time series metrics of all runs in this experiment as Dataframe.

my_experiment = aiplatform.Experiment('my-experiment')
df = my_experiment.get_data_frame()
Exceptions
Type Description
ImportError If pandas is not installed.
Returns
Type Description
pd.DataFrame Pandas Dataframe of Experiment Runs.

get_or_create
