When the status page is returning a 500 error... not a good sign.

It's an even worse sign when the page half-loads with some stylesheets missing.

Seems like every other request is throwing a 500 error. Maybe one server in a load-balanced cluster is erroring out?

On the other hand, makes it sound more likely to be a routing/reverse proxy issue instead of (say) a database issue. Those sound easier to deal with via a rollback vs something like "oops we dropped a critical index on the `messages` table".
