Description

  • CodeCarbon version: master
  • Python version: 3.11
  • Operating System: macOS 14.2.1
Description

I wanted to test out the project, so I ran the initialization and wanted to view the emission tracking using the dashboard mentioned in the README. However, I don't understand how the dashboard works or how to view my currently running project on it.

What I Did

Step 1:

Ran Jupyter Notebook:

!codecarbon init
!echo "log_level = DEBUG\nsave_to_api = True" >> .codecarbon.config
!codecarbon monitor
# Happy with just testing it out without any code running

Step 2:
Go to https://dashboard.codecarbon.io/
Here I don't know how to proceed. The overview seems global but I assumed I will be able to track my local project, however not sure how to. Do I need to specify a name somewhere and select it from the projects list perhaps?

It would be nice if the mandatory steps to use the dashboard intuitively are explained in the README
