Ignore all threads that start with any of the following: java.lang.Thread.State: WAITING (on object monitor) at java.lang.Object.wait(Native Method) ... java.lang.Thread.State: TIMED_WAITING (parking) at sun.misc.Unsafe.park(Native Method) ... java.lang.Thread.State: RUNNABLE at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketAccept(Native Method) Such threads are not running - they are waiting for input to do anything. You are looking for a thread that is not waiting. It is best if you filter out the waiting threads and post only running threads.
