Perhaps by doing the monitoring client-side they can get reports both on successful attempts to create a calendar event as well as unsuccessful attempts to create a calendar event. For example, even if the browser for some reason cannot connect to the server and no event is actually created, perhaps the extension still reports on the "attempt" to create an event.

Ah, no.

What if the network is up, but the server is down.

If the network were the issue, Chrome could log the attempts to a local store then send the report when the network is up again.
