I Seem To Be Missing Something ... I'Ve Only Got One Task Running To Train A Segmentation Model On My Local Machine, And In A Few Days It'S Hit Over 1.15M Api Calls. It Looks Like It'S Sending Every Single Console Output ... Are There Settings To Control

I seem to be missing something ... I've only got one task running to train a segmentation model on my local machine, and in a few days it's hit over 1.15M API calls. It looks like it's sending every single console output ... are there settings to control what gets logged? I only care about the results from each epoch. I don't need each line of the console posted up ( that's 99% of the API usage right there ). I can't find a way to prevent this and can see each line in the clearml console that's already in my terminal window ( each tick in the progress bar for each epoch seems to be an API call to post that local console output to clearml ). Any tips to stop console from getting sent?

Actually looking at the counts today, they've barely changed. So I think this actually fixed it, and was just that the counts are only updated daily so I needed to get 48 hours out from when I made the change to see clean results to assure no spill over counts from previous days.

In case of scalars it is easy to see (maximum number of iterations is a good starting point

It'd be great if it just posted to clearml after each epoch is completed and the CSV with the results gets updated . I only care about using the dashboard to track completed progress . I can use my local computers terminal window to monitor current epoch training . No need to send that to clearml every second ;) Results once an hour or so is fine after each completes :)

Under your profile you should be able to see it

Welp, it's been a day with the new settings, and stats went up 140K for API calls 😢 ... going to check again tomorrow to see if any of that was spill over from yesterday

It was at 1.1M when I shut it down yesterday, and today it's at 1.24M

In future collab community videos and sample source for YoloV8, might be worthwhile to call that out as something folks might want to turn off unless they need it :) . Like I mentioned, I had no idea it was going to do that and sent your servers over 1.4M API hits unintentionally : (

Thanks, will do. Heck, for my use case, I only need like once every 10 minutes.

(Not sure it actually has that information)

this one, right ? report_period_sec in ~/clearml.conf correct ?

Correct

If you do not have a lot of workers, that I would guess console outputs

I guess last followup question, is there a way to cap costs?

Scale tier ? (I know it is not per usage, but it is probably more than 15$ per user 🙂 )

each epoch runs about 55 minutes, and that screenshot I posted earlier kind of show the logs for the rest of the info being output, if you wanted to check that out None

But I will try to set the reduce the number of log reports first

I am running this on a 3090 GPU locally, just been letting it run for about two weeks now I think. Just have the one GPU, ha ha. It's at epoch 368 out of the 1,000 I have it set to cap out on ( if it does not hit the default YOLO "patience" limit of 50 before then and self terminate ).

is number of calls performed, not what those calls were.

oh, yes this is just a measure of how many API calls are sent.
It does not really matter which ones

  
  
Posted one year ago

Ya, sorry, I meant that if you needed more info on what was being run, it was in that screenshot ( showed instances/epochs/batch size, etc ) . But yes, it's since been disabled .

well from 2 to 30sec is a factor of 15, I think this is a good start 🙂

Glad I got that sorted. I was OK being a paying customer, but gettin overage charges for that console stuff would have been a bummer if we had not figured it out. Next month things should be back to normal 😉

Maybe ClearML is using tensorboard in ways that I can fine tune? I saw there was a manual way if you were not using tensorboard to send over data, but the videos I saw from your team used this solution when demoing YOLOv8 on YouTube ( there were a few collab videos your team did with theirs, so I just followed their instructions ). But my gut is telling me that might be the issue for the remaining data being sent over that I have no insight into.

I did notice that the last 24 hours I dropped quite a bit, so my theory that the 140K might have some spillover from previous day might have been correct. Last 24 hours went from 1.24M to 1.32M, so about half as much as the day before, with the same training running.

My training is on roughly 50 classes as a subset of the Open Images Dataset for Segmentation

Just wish I could actually see somewhere what is being sent over API so I could know where to focus my efforts to refine this kind of stuff 😉

I would love to be able to fine tune this as needed, but in my profile I only see a Billings & Usage, and it states at the top that "Usage data is updated once every day" ... and even then, all the shows under "Platform Usage" is number of calls performed, not what those calls were.

Since it's literally something we have to pay for ( which I signed up to do ) I would love to know what drives this cost

FYI, found log_stdout in that same setting and default for that was true so set that to false so it would not log all stdout & stderr
