Checking training model is overfit or underfit

Prerequisites

Please answer the following question for yourself before submitting an issue.

• I checked to make sure that this feature has not been requested already.

1. The entire URL of the file you are using

https://github.com/tensorflow/models/blob/master/research/object_detection/configs/tf2/ssd_mobilenet_v2_320x320_coco17_tpu-8.config

2. Describe the feature you request

I am training my own model built from scratch with Mobilenet_v2 SSD 320x320. I had about 1000 images for training, 100 for validation. However, when I try to check if my model is overfitting or underfitting using tensorboard --logdir, it only shows the training loss, even though I have added the validation set as well. How can I check if my model is overfitting or underfitting?

3. Additional context

Here is my model.config

# SSD with Mobilenet v2 FPN-lite (go/fpn-lite) feature extractor, shared box
# predictor and focal loss (a mobile version of Retinanet).
# Retinanet: see Lin et al, https://arxiv.org/abs/1708.02002
# Trained on COCO, initialized from Imagenet classification checkpoint
# Train on TPU-8
#
# Achieves 22.2 mAP on COCO17 Val
