A method, system and computer program product for facilitating remote debugging of parallel regions in stream computing applications. A stream computing management server (SCMS) communicates a list of processing elements to a debugging interface. Responsive to setting a debugging breakpoint for a processing element of the list of processing elements, the SCMS receives a command to enable remote debugging for the selected processing element. In this regard, the processing element is a part of a parallel channel in a distributed processing environment. The SCMS maps the processing element to an attachment information in the distributed environment. The SCMS dynamically attaches a remote debugger to the processing element based on the attachment information.
