slackker 1.2.3

Python package for monitoring your python script & Model training status in real-time on slack & telegram.

Introducing slackker! :fire:

Watching training metrics is a time killer and addictive. Have you ever found yourself walking back and forth to computer to monitor progress, only to find that the current epoch is not finished yet or that nothing has changed?

When you're in front of your screen, you start to look for patterns in the metrics to judge the progress, this way training spills over into the rest of your live. All the time the models are training, your brain works at 50% at most. So, I made slackker to make your life easy :grin:

Requirements: slack_sdk>=3.19.0 and matplotlib

slackker is a python package for monitoring your python script & ML model training status in real-time on Slack & Telegram. Features:

• Integrate within any .py function/script: You can integrate slackker with any python script or function.
• Real-time updates: Get updates on your training progress in real-time on Slack & Telegram.
• Exported Plots: Exported plots of training metrics and send it to your Slack channel.
• Customizable: Customize the metrics you want to track and notify.
• Easy to use: Just import the package, setup the slack/telegram and you are good to go.

So now you don't have to sit in front of the machine all the time. You can quickly go and grab coffee :coffee: downstairs or run some errands and still keep tracking the progress while on the move without loosing your peace of mind.

Installation :arrow_down:

• Install slackker from PyPi is recommended. slackker is compatible with Python >= 3.6 and runs on Linux, MacOS X and Windows.
• Installing slackker in your environment is easy. Just use below pip command:

pip install slackker

Getting started with slackker callbacks

Setup slackker

• Slack: How to setup slackker for your slack channel
• Telegram: How to setup slackker for Telegram

Use slackker callbacks for any python functions

Import basic slackker callbacks with following line:

from slackker.callbacks.basic import SlackUpdate # for slack
###################### OR ######################
from slackker.callbacks.basic import TelegramUpdate # for telegram

Create slackker object.

# for Slack
slackker = SlackUpdate(token="xoxb-123234234235-123234234235-adedce74748c3844747aed",
    channel="A04AAB77ABC")

or

# for Telegram
slackker = TelegramUpdate(token="1234567890:AAAAA_A111BBBBBCCC2DD3eEe44f5GGGgGG")

• token: (string) Slack app/Telegram token
• channel: (string) Slack channel where you want to receive updates
• verbose: (int) default 0: You can sent the verbose level up to 3.
  • verbose = 0 No logging
  • verbose = 1 Info logging
  • verbose = 2 Debug/In-depth logging

Now you can wrap your function with this slackker object.

@slackker.notifier
def your_function():
    return value_1, value_2

following messages will be sent to your slack channel when the function executes.

Function 'your_function' from Script: 'your_script.py' executed.
Execution time: 5.006 Seconds
Returned 2 outputs:
Output 0:
value_1

Output 1:
value_2

You can also use slackker.notify(__file__) at the end of your script to notify the end of script execution.

if __name__ == "__main__":
    your_function()
    slackker.notify(__file__)

following message will be sent to your slack channel when the script ends.

Your script: 'your_script.py' has been executed successfully at 14-10-2024 12:15:54

Use slackker callbacks with Keras

Import slackker for Keras

Import slackker callbacks for keras with following line:

from slackker.callbacks.keras import SlackUpdate # for slack
###################### OR ######################
from slackker.callbacks.keras import TelegramUpdate # for telegram

Create slackker object for keras

Create slackker object.

    ModelName='Simple_NN',
    export='png',
    SendPlot=True)

history = model.fit(x_train, 
                    y_train,
                    epochs = 3,
                    batch_size = 16,
                    verbose=1,
                    validation_data=(x_val,y_val),
                    callbacks=[slackker])

Log your metrics to track

Log Training loop metrics

self.log("train_loss", loss, on_epoch=True)
self.log("train_acc", accuracy, on_epoch=True)

Make sure to set on_epoch=True to in training step.

Log Validation loop metrics

self.log("val_loss", loss)
self.log("val_acc", accuracy)

In Validation step on_epoch=True by default.
