Tracking URI and Storage

Where did my run go?

A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) tells MLflow where to store and find runs. This destination is called the tracking backend. A local-file URI might be file:///home/labuser/workspace/mlruns; a server URI starts with http://. A relative path such as ./mlruns changes meaning with the program's working directory, so runs can seem to vanish into another folder.

Set MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI explicitly or call mlflow.set_tracking_uri() before creating the experiment. Then query the same URI with mlflow experiments search and mlflow runs list.

Warning: A successful script does not prove central tracking worked. Verify the expected backend contains the run and required fields.
