Does anyone know if the result of chef-client run is sent back to chef-server  
or not and how can we make it display on TAB Status of the chef-webui

A richer status tracking system is definitely on the roadmap, but for  
now, the best way to be notified when chef runs fail is to use the  
notification system introduced in Chef 0.9.0. You can read more about  
it in the release announcement

and in the inline documentation for the Chef::Handler base class:
