Upon completion, click the **View Details** action to reveal the profiling window

The profiler runs for 60 seconds and gathers all thread dumps form this time, grouping the data by thread and thread state over time.&#x20;

&#x20;     \- Represents threads in a `RUNNING` state

&#x20;     \- Represents threads in a `WAITING` state

&#x20;     \- Represents threads in a `TIMED_WAITING` state

Each grouped block is expandable and will show the thread's details, as well as the stack trace. Multiple blocks can be expanded at a time.
