Description

As someone running multiple tensorboard instances at the same time (on different machines), I often end up with tabs like this :

example

And even if I try to have a browser windows dedicated to tensorboard tabs (so that I can read the full title), tab names only show "Tensorboard". To figure out what machine I am looking at, I have to select a tab and check the ip on the address bar.

Wouldn't it be better if we were able to change tab names and favicons ? That way, I would be able to grasp at a glance all the tensorboard sessions that are opened.

something like
tensorboard --logdir=/path/to/logs --session_name='My Tensorboard session' --favicon=/path/to/icon.ico

There may be some issue with this, as favicon is part of the tensorboard layout, and you may not want to let the user change it, tell me what you think, thanks !

Research direction

Start by tracing how TensorBoard sets the browser tab title and favicon, then inspect how command-line options are defined and passed into the web interface. Define the supported behavior for a session name and custom favicon, including whether both should be configurable; the issue is done when multiple instances can be distinguished from their tabs.
