CometLogger

class pytorch_lightning.loggers.CometLogger(api_key=None, save_dir=None, project_name=None, rest_api_key=None, experiment_name=None, experiment_key=None, offline=False, prefix='', **kwargs)

Bases: pytorch_lightning.loggers.base.LightningLoggerBase

Log using Comet.ml.

Install it with pip:

pip install comet-ml

Comet requires either an API Key (online mode) or a local directory path (offline mode).

ONLINE MODE

import os
from pytorch_lightning import Trainer
from pytorch_lightning.loggers import CometLogger

# arguments made to CometLogger are passed on to the comet_ml.Experiment class
comet_logger = CometLogger(
    api_key=os.environ.get("COMET_API_KEY"),
    workspace=os.environ.get("COMET_WORKSPACE"),  # Optional
    save_dir=".",  # Optional
    project_name="default_project",  # Optional
    rest_api_key=os.environ.get("COMET_REST_API_KEY"),  # Optional
    experiment_key=os.environ.get("COMET_EXPERIMENT_KEY"),  # Optional
    experiment_name="default",  # Optional
)
trainer = Trainer(logger=comet_logger)

OFFLINE MODE

from pytorch_lightning.loggers import CometLogger

# arguments made to CometLogger are passed on to the comet_ml.Experiment class
comet_logger = CometLogger(
    save_dir=".",
    workspace=os.environ.get("COMET_WORKSPACE"),  # Optional
    project_name="default_project",  # Optional
    rest_api_key=os.environ.get("COMET_REST_API_KEY"),  # Optional
    experiment_name="default",  # Optional
)
trainer = Trainer(logger=comet_logger)

Parameters

• api_key (Optional[str]) – Required in online mode. API key, found on Comet.ml. If not given, this will be loaded from the environment variable COMET_API_KEY or ~/.comet.config if either exists.

• save_dir (Optional[str]) – Required in offline mode. The path for the directory to save local comet logs. If given, this also sets the directory for saving checkpoints.

• project_name (Optional[str]) – Optional. Send your experiment to a specific project. Otherwise will be sent to Uncategorized Experiments. If the project name does not already exist, Comet.ml will create a new project.

• rest_api_key (Optional[str]) – Optional. Rest API key found in Comet.ml settings. This is used to determine version number

• experiment_name (Optional[str]) – Optional. String representing the name for this particular experiment on Comet.ml.

• experiment_key (Optional[str]) – Optional. If set, restores from existing experiment.

• offline (bool) – If api_key and save_dir are both given, this determines whether the experiment will be in online or offline mode. This is useful if you use save_dir to control the checkpoints directory and have a ~/.comet.config file but still want to run offline experiments.

• prefix (str) – A string to put at the beginning of metric keys.

• **kwargs – Additional arguments like workspace, log_code, etc. used by CometExperiment can be passed as keyword arguments in this logger.

Raises

• ImportError – If required Comet package is not installed on the device.

• MisconfigurationException – If neither api_key nor save_dir are passed as arguments.

finalize(status)

When calling self.experiment.end(), that experiment won’t log any more data to Comet. That’s why, if you need to log any more data, you need to create an ExistingCometExperiment. For example, to log data when testing your model after training, because when training is finalized CometLogger.finalize() is called.

This happens automatically in the experiment() property, when self._experiment is set to None, i.e. self.reset_experiment().

Return type

None

log_graph(model, input_array=None)

Record model graph

Parameters

• model (LightningModule) – lightning model

• input_array – input passes to model.forward

Return type

None

log_hyperparams(params)

Record hyperparameters.

Parameters

• params (Union[Dict[str, Any], Namespace]) – Namespace containing the hyperparameters

• args – Optional positional arguments, depends on the specific logger being used

• kwargs – Optional keywoard arguments, depends on the specific logger being used

Return type

None

log_metrics(metrics, step=None)

Records metrics. This method logs metrics as as soon as it received them. If you want to aggregate metrics for one specific step, use the agg_and_log_metrics() method.

Parameters

• metrics (Dict[str, Union[Tensor, float]]) – Dictionary with metric names as keys and measured quantities as values

• step (Optional[int]) – Step number at which the metrics should be recorded

Return type

None

property experiment

Actual Comet object. To use Comet features in your LightningModule do the following.

Example:

self.logger.experiment.some_comet_function()

property name: str

Return the experiment name.

property save_dir: Optional[str]

Return the root directory where experiment logs get saved, or None if the logger does not save data locally.

property version: str

Return the experiment version.
