logger.Logger¶

class clearml.logger.Logger¶

The Logger class is the ClearML console log and metric statistics interface, and contains methods for explicit reporting.

Explicit reporting extends ClearML automagical capturing of inputs and output. Explicit reporting methods include scalar plots, line plots, histograms, confusion matrices, 2D and 3D scatter diagrams, text logging, tables, and image uploading and reporting.

In the ClearML Web-App (UI), Logger output appears in the RESULTS tab, LOG, SCALARS, PLOTS, and DEBUG SAMPLES sub-tabs. When you compare experiments, Logger output appears in the comparisons.

Warning

Do not construct Logger objects directly.

You must get a Logger object before calling any of the other Logger class methods by calling Task.get_logger() or Logger.current_logger().

capture_logging()¶

Return context capturing all the logs (via logging) reported under the context

Returns: a ContextManager

classmethod current_logger()¶

Get the Logger object for the main execution Task, the current running Task, if one exists. If no Logger object exists, this method creates one and returns it. Therefore, you can call this method from anywhere in the code.

logger = Logger.current_logger()

Returns: The Logger object (a singleton) for the current running Task.

flush()¶

Flush cached reports and console outputs to backend.

Returns: True, if successfully flushed the cache. False, if failed.

get_default_upload_destination()¶

Get the destination storage URI (for example, S3, Google Cloud Storage, a file path) for uploading debug images (see Logger.set_default_upload_destination()).

Returns

The default upload destination URI.

For example: s3://bucket/directory/, or file:///tmp/debug/.

get_flush_period()¶

Get the Logger flush period.

Returns: The logger flush period in seconds.

report_confusion_matrix(title, series, matrix, iteration, xaxis=None, yaxis=None, xlabels=None, ylabels=None, yaxis_reversed=False, comment=None, extra_layout=None)¶

For explicit reporting, plot a heat-map matrix.

For example:

confusion = np.random.randint(10, size=(10, 10))
logger.report_confusion_matrix("example confusion matrix", "ignored", iteration=1, matrix=confusion,
     xaxis="title X", yaxis="title Y")

extra_layout (dict) – optional dictionary for layout configuration, passed directly to plotly example: extra_layout={‘xaxis’: {‘type’: ‘date’, ‘range’: [‘2020-01-01’, ‘2020-01-31’]}}

report_histogram(title, series, values, iteration, labels=None, xlabels=None, xaxis=None, yaxis=None, mode=None, extra_layout=None)¶

For explicit reporting, plot a (default grouped) histogram. Notice this function will not calculate the histogram, it assumes the histogram was already calculated in values

For example:

vector_series = np.random.randint(10, size=10).reshape(2,5)
logger.report_histogram(title='histogram example', series='histogram series',
     values=vector_series, iteration=0, labels=['A','B'], xaxis='X axis label', yaxis='Y axis label')
