The plugins are versioned independently from Logstash so your elasticsearch output plugin version is _not_ 5.5.2. Use the `logstash-plugin` command to list installed plugins and their versions. If you haven't upgraded the plugin yourself you can use the Logstash documentation to get the correct documentation: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/5.2/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/5.2/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html) As that page states, 504 errors won't be retried, but if you look at the documentation for the current version of Logstash ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html)) you can see it states otherwise. So, upgrade Logstash or just your elasticsearch output plugin. ---
