How to suppress verbose Tensorflow logging? [dupli

2020-02-26 04:50发布

问题:

I'm unittesting my Tensorflow code with nosetests but it produces such amount of verbose output that makes it useless.

The following test

import unittest
import tensorflow as tf

class MyTest(unittest.TestCase):

    def test_creation(self):
        self.assertEquals(True, False)

when run with nosetests creates a huge amount of useless logging:

FAIL: test_creation (tests.test_tf.MyTest)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/cebrian/GIT/thesis-nilm/code/deepmodels/tests/test_tf.py", line 10, in test_creation

whereas using tensorflow from the ipython console doesn't seem that verbose:

How could I suppress the former logging when running nosetests?

回答1:

2.0 Update (10/8/19) Setting TF_CPP_MIN_LOG_LEVEL should still work (see below in v0.12+ update), but there is currently an issue open (see issue #31870). If setting TF_CPP_MIN_LOG_LEVEL does not work for you (again, see below), try doing the following to set the log level:

import tensorflow as tf
tf.get_logger().setLevel('INFO')

In addition, please see the documentation on tf.autograph.set_verbosity which sets the verbosity of autograph log messages - for example:

# Can also be set using the AUTOGRAPH_VERBOSITY environment variable
tf.autograph.set_verbosity(1)

v0.12+ Update (5/20/17), Working through TF 2.0+:

In TensorFlow 0.12+, per this issue, you can now control logging via the environmental variable called TF_CPP_MIN_LOG_LEVEL; it defaults to 0 (all logs shown) but can be set to one of the following values under the Level column.

  Level | Level for Humans | Level Description                  
 -------|------------------|------------------------------------ 
  0     | DEBUG            | [Default] Print all messages       
  1     | INFO             | Filter out INFO messages           
  2     | WARNING          | Filter out INFO & WARNING messages 
  3     | ERROR            | Filter out all messages      

See the following generic OS example using Python:

import os
os.environ['TF_CPP_MIN_LOG_LEVEL'] = '3'  # or any {'0', '1', '2'}
import tensorflow as tf

To be thorough, you call also set the level for the Python tf_logging module, which is used in e.g. summary ops, tensorboard, various estimators, etc.

# append to lines above
tf.logging.set_verbosity(tf.logging.ERROR)  # or any {DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL}

For 1.14 you will receive warnings if you do not change to use the v1 API as follows:

# append to lines above
tf.compat.v1.logging.set_verbosity(tf.compat.v1.logging.ERROR)  # or any {DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL}


For Prior Versions of TensorFlow or TF-Learn Logging (v0.11.x or lower):

View the page below for information on TensorFlow logging; with the new update, you're able to set the logging verbosity to either DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, or FATAL. For example:

tf.logging.set_verbosity(tf.logging.ERROR)

The page additionally goes over monitors which can be used with TF-Learn models. Here is the page.

This doesn't block all logging, though (only TF-Learn). I have two solutions; one is a 'technically correct' solution (Linux) and the other involves rebuilding TensorFlow.

script -c 'python [FILENAME].py' | grep -v 'I tensorflow/'

For the other, please see this answer which involves modifying source and rebuilding TensorFlow.

Running the tests with nosetests --nologcapture will disable the display of these logs. More information about the logging for nosetests: https://nose.readthedocs.io/en/latest/plugins/logcapture.html

Here's an example of doing this. Unfortunately this requires modifying the source and rebuilding. Here's a tracking bug to make it easier
