How to rename variable in an event file?

[jnjaby]

I have trained a network and got an event file. However, the histograms are not easy to help understand the training process since they are listed in alphabetical order. Can I rename those histograms to change their order without retraining the model?

Thanks for the problem report.

Event files are designed to be append-only. You could try filtering the histograms by name. Could you please elaborate on why renaming will help you?

@jnjaby Could you please elaborate and provide more information as asked above ?

@manivaradarajan Sorry for the late response. Let me elaborate with a toy example.
Suppose we have a network conv1 -> norm1 -> relu1 -> conv2 ... and I save the histograms of feature map before and after 'norm1', named as conv1_feature and norm1_feature, respectively.
In tensorboard, they are listed as conv1_feature, conv2_feature, ..., convn_feature, norm1_feature, .... However, those histograms should be in order of conv1_feature, norm1_feature, ...
