Method for graphically providing status information of a data processing system having a plurality of disjunct system statuses, wherein the data processing system is monitored during a predetermined period of time. A donut chart is created which has an inner hole region linked to the one particular system status and an outer region having as many segments as the total number of system statuses in the collection minus one. An area size of the inner hole region and an area size of each segment in the outer region is proportional to the amount of time that the corresponding monitored system status occurred during the predetermined period of time.
