+### Important Changes
+
+- The default read-timeout of `inputs.syslog` of five seconds is not a sensible
+  default as the plugin will close the connection if the time between
+  consecutive messages exceeds the timeout.
+  [#14837](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/pull/14828) sets the timeout
+  to infinite (i.e zero) as this is the expected behavior.
