Description of problem:
I'll admit I don't fully understand what Trends will end up showing me, since I haven't gotten it working, but it seems odd that we force users to use both the Web UI and the CLI to get them set up.

When you first visit the Trends page, and there's nothing configured, you see:
"No trend counter defined.
To define trend counters, use the Add Trend Counter button.To start collecting trend data, set a cron job to execute 'rake trends:counter' every Puppet Interval (30 minutes)."

If you click on New Trend Counter, and make something, the message changes:
"No trend counter found.
To start collecting trend data, set a cron job to execute 'RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake trends:counter' every Puppet Interval (30 minutes)"

Why can't I fully configure Trends through the Web UI? Couldn't we configure that through Satellite and have Sat push any CLI commands needed in the background?

Also, there's no ending punctuation for that second message.
