AD Performace Monitors, Reports and Widgets

Question

Hi,
I have been asked to set up the following performance counter rules for our DCs (DC1 to DC4):
DirectoryServices\ATQ Estimated Queue Delay
DirectoryServices\ATQ Outstanding Queued Requests
DirectoryServices\ATQ Request Latency
DirectoryServices\ATQ Threads Total 
DirectoryServices\ATQ Threads LDAP
DirectoryServices\ATQ Threads Other
DirectoryServices\LDAP Bind Time
Setting up the rules seemed OK. (The following was selected under Authoring/Rules/Collection Rules/Performance Based/Windows Performance, Rule Target (Windows Computer), Counter (each one from the list above), Interval
= 5 mins. Each counter was then overridden to target a Group which contained all the DCs.
Now to get the Report right...???
The following was selected Reporting/Microsoft Generic Report Library/Performance.
Then a New Series was generated for Each DC, targetting each Windows Computer and each counter - ONE at a time.
I have yet to see and data on the graphs, so I'm hoping the above methodology is correct??? (Pls let me know if you think I have the wrong targets (e.g.
Windows Computer)).
Assuming the above is correct, How can I get a Window (Widget) to show under the Monitoring Pane, with each of the above counters for each DC being shown?
e.g. A Widget showing ATQ Estimated Queue Delay for DC1, DC2, DC3, DC4?
Thx,
John Bradshaw
