Description

When I export a database using --db_import and then start a tensorboard instance with --db (pointed at the same file), I don't see all the same tensor summaries that I see when I run with --logdir directly.

Running SQL queries with the sqlite3 command line tool on macOS seems to indicate that the expected summaries aren't ever written to the database file.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the difference between TensorBoard started with --logdir and the same database passed with --db after using --db_import. Inspect the database with the sqlite3 command-line tool and trace the --db_import path to determine why summaries shown from --logdir are not written. Done means the exported database contains all expected summaries and displays them through --db.
