TensorBoard consumes data stored in “event files”, which are written by TensorFlow programs during training. The event file format is opaque and hard to inspect, and the interpretation of the data has changed over time. The only way that people can reliably access the data in event files is via TensorBoard itself. But this precludes a lot of useful functionality. It would be great if TensorBoard could provide easier programmatic access to data in formats that users are more likely to be familiar and comfortable with, like Pandas dataframes or CSV/JSON tables.

(This is a long-standing feature request, but I can’t find a tracking issue, so I’m opening this. Feel free to dedupe if there’s prior art.)

https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorboard/issues/1981 is related but somewhat more specific. I think https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorboard/issues/1261 is also related. (To be clear, fine to me to have this one open still since it's more general.)

I suppose https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorboard/issues/3091 is also related, but this should definitely stay open.
