I am using guild’s tensorboard extract command so I can post-process the scalar values, very useful:

`guild tensorboard -Fo train --export-scalars events.csv`

The first column is the run id. Is there a way to cross reference this with the run id somewhere else in guild so I can match the runs in `events.csv` with the arguments that were used in the runs?

Is the best way to go through `guild.ipy`? Seems a `row` in `ipy.runs().iterrows()` contains `row.run. __dict__ ` which has the flags? Feels like there may be something more obvious here?

Thanks!

Hello! You can use `guild.ipy` for this but there’s a command that’s available in 0.8.2 (not yet released but a pre-release is available) that I think is better:

```command
guild api runs

```

This generates JSON output that contains run info, including the full run ID, which you can use in a cross ref with the TF event output from the `tensorboard` command.

You can install the pre-release by running `pip install --upgrade --pre guildai`

Sorry for the late reply here btw!
