## Thread monitor view |
| up | next

| The thread monitor view shows the filtered list of all threads in the JVM together with associated information on times and status. There are a maximum of six columns shown in the table, which can be sorted. Name Shows the name of the thread. If the thread has not been named explicitly, the name is provided by the JVM. To make most use of this view, name your threads according to their function by invoking the `setName()` method on all threads created by you. Group Shows the name of the thread group associated with this thread. Start time Shows the time when the thread has been started. This time is calculated relative to the start time of the first thread in the JVM. End time This column is only visible when `show dead threads` is enabled in the view settings dialog. It shows the time when the thread has died and is empty if the thread is still alive. This time is calculated relative to the start time of the first thread in the JVM. CPU time Shows the CPU time which has been consumed by the thread. This column may be empty if your system and JVM do not support thread specific CPU time reporting. Status Shows the status of the thread which corresponds to the status reported in the thread history view.

| You can decide which threads are shown in the thread monitor view by checking the desired filters in the thread monitor view settings dialog. If `Show dead threads` is not enabled, the `End time` column will not be visible.
