Watchdog timer for a multi-stage computing environment

A computer system for managing multi-stage transactions, the computer system comprising:

• one or more computer processors;
• one or more computer readable storage media;
• program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, the program instructions comprising instructions to:
• receive a plurality of response time values of transaction components for a plurality of transactions;
• select two or more transactions from the plurality of transactions, wherein a quantity of the selected transactions is equal to a number of the transaction components in the plurality of transactions;
• calculate eigenvalues from the response time values for the selected transactions, wherein each row of a square matrix for calculating the eigenvalues comprises response time values from a same transaction;
• and
• determine that the selected transactions have timed out by processing the eigenvalues using a machine learning classifier.

A computer program product for managing multi-stage transactions, the computer program product comprising one or more computer readable storage media collectively having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to:

• receive a plurality of response time values of transaction components for a plurality of transactions;
• select two or more transactions from the plurality of transactions, wherein a quantity of the selected transactions is equal to a number of the transaction components in the plurality of transactions;
• calculate eigenvalues from the response time values for the selected transactions, wherein each row of a square matrix for calculating the eigenvalues comprises response time values from a same transaction;
• and
• determine that the selected transactions have timed out by processing the eigenvalues using a machine learning classifier.
