To be honest I'm not sure if it is an actual error or some misunderstanding of how it works, as it is tricky. I will explain it here a bit more in depth, so you can investigate further, and decide if it is working or not.
When you add a count widget for the last 5 minutes, Graylog will do a search in the last 5 minutes and count the number of messages. Adding a trend to that widget means that Graylog will do two searches: one in the last 5 minutes for the actual number you want to see, and another one in the previous 5 minutes that is, since 10 minutes ago to 5 minutes ago, and compare the results to show the trend information. So, in summary, to see if it is working as expected, you could do a search in the last 10 minutes, subtract the count for the last 5 minutes, and see if the previous count was higher or lower. Please let us know the results, so we know if there is a problem with it.
