# The Edge Filer Syslog Service Requirements

To set up CTERA with the Edge Filer Syslog service you must first set up the CTERA Messaging Service, described in [Setting Up the CTERA Messaging Service](/v1/docs/setting-up-the-ctera-messaging-service-3-1).

          **Warning**

          

You must not start setting up the **Edge Filer Syslog** service until the messaging service setup has completed.

          **Note**

          

Setting up the Edge Filer Syslog service does **not** impact the portal syslog behavior, described in [Portal Logs](/v1/docs/portal-logs-8-1).
