Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system include a processor(s) that obtains a request for a transaction to be processed by an application in a computing system. The processor(s) applies, to the request for the transaction, an outlier detection model, to determine whether the transaction comprises attributes matching transaction tuples of one or more historical transactions identified as triggering issues in the computing system when the application processed the historical transactions.

Based on determining that the transaction is an outlier transaction, concurrently with the application processing the transaction, the processor(s) turn on the debug trace to debug trace the application processing of the transaction.
