timestamp: The date and time when the model was created or the trial was run.
Payload contents for the hyperparameter log of the final model
The jsonPayload field for the hyperparameter log of the final model contains a
modelParameters field. This field contains one entry for each model that
contributes to the final ensemble model. Each entry has a hyperparameters
field, whose contents depend on the model type. For details, see List of hyperparameters.
Payload contents for the hyperparameter log of a tuning trial
The jsonPayload field for the hyperparameter log of a tuning trial contains the following fields:
Field
Type
Description
modelStructure
JSON
A description of the Vertex AI model structure.
This field contains a modelParameters field. The
modelParameters field has a hyperparameters
field, whose contents depend on the model type. For details, see
List of hyperparameters.
trainingObjectivePoint
JSON
The optimization objective used for model training.
This entry includes a timestamp and an objective value at the
time the log entry was recorded.
List of hyperparameters
The hyperparameter data provided in the logs differ for each type of
model. The following sections describe the hyperparameters for each
model type.

What's next
Once you're ready to make predictions with your classification or regression
model, you have two options:
You can export your logs to BigQuery, Cloud Storage, or
Pub/Sub. Read Route logs to supported destinations

Using\nLogging, you see:\n\n- The hyperparameters of the final model as key-value pairs.\n- The hyperparameters and object values used during model training and tuning, as well as an objective value.\n\nBy default, logs are deleted after 30 days.\n\nThe following topics are covered:\n\n1. [Viewing training logs](#training-logs).\n2. [Log fields](#log-fields).\n\n| **Note:** Model architecture logs are provided as part of the Cloud Logging service. For general information about Cloud Logging, see the [Cloud Logging](/logging/docs) documentation.\n\nBefore you begin\n----------------\n\nBefore you can view the hyperparameter logs for your model, you must\n[train it](/vertex-ai/docs/tabular-data/classification-regression/train-model).\n\nTo perform this task, you must have the following\n[permissions](/iam/docs/overview#permissions):\n\n- `logging.logServiceIndexes.list` on the project\n- `logging.logServices.list` on the project\n\nViewing training logs\n---------------------\n\nYou can use the Google Cloud console to access the hyperparameter logs of the\nfinal model and the hyperparameter logs of the tuning trials.\n\n1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Vertex AI **Models** page.\n\n [Go to Models page](https://console.cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/models)\n2. In the **Region** drop-down, select the region where your model is located.\n\n3. From the list of models, select your model.\n\n4. Select your model's version number.\n\n5. Open the **Version Details** tab.\n\n6. To see the hyperparameter log of the final model, go to the **Model hyperparameters** row and click **Model**.\n\n 1. There is just one log entry. Expand the payload as shown below.\n For details, see [Log fields](#reading-logs).\n\n7. To see the hyperparameter log of the tuning trials, go to the **Model hyperparameters** row and click **Trials**.\n\n 1. There is one entry for each of the tuning trials.
