@SrushtiRS I don’t think this is quite the same issue, actually. It looks like one of the embedding metadata files you’re using isn’t encoded using UTF-8. I’d check to make sure all text files within the log directory you’re using are UTF-8 encoded.

This sounds like the same issue that was reported in #682. Are you using a machine with unicode (non-ASCII) characters in its hostname?

Could you please run the following command:

python -c "import socket; print(socket.getfqdn()); print(socket.gethostbyaddr(socket.gethostname()))"

If it prints out the same error, then this is an underlying issue with python and/or your hostname; there won’t be much that TensorBoard can do about it.
