Intelligent Logging of Microservice Failures

Intelligent logging of microservice failures is provided. It is predicted that failure of a microservice in a microservice chain will occur during a predicted high-risk failure period for a predicted failure type while performing a transaction corresponding to an application. A detailed logging level is determined for the microservice to record sufficient information to identify a root cause of the failure of the microservice for the predicted failure type. The microservice is directed to increase a current logging level of the microservice to the detailed logging level during the predicted high-risk failure period to record sufficient information to identify the root cause of the failure of the microservice.
