Browser Tab name and Favicon

[ClementPinard]

As someone running multiple tensorboard instances at the same time (on different machines), I often end up with tabs like this :

And even if I try to have a browser windows dedicated to tensorboard tabs (so that I can read the full title), tab names only show "Tensorboard". To figure out what machine I am looking at, I have to select a tab and check the ip on the address bar.

Wouldn't it be better if we were able to change tab names and favicons ? That way, I would be able to grasp at a glance all the tensorboard sessions that are opened.

something like
tensorboard --logdir=/path/to/logs --session_name='My Tensorboard session' --favicon=/path/to/icon.ico

There may be some issue with this, as favicon is part of the tensorboard layout, and you may not want to let the user change it, tell me what you think, thanks !

We don't really do any server side templating so this would be nontrivial to implement. Probably the best way to do it would be to add some code to tf-tensorboard.html that kicks off an XHR to the core plugin for the value of those flags, and then rewrites the dom accordingly.

Contributions would be welcome. So long as session_name flag is renamed title.
