Getting Data In

How to re-direct error messages from scripted input from _internal to a different Index?

I have a scripted input, which run the command ntpstat and the results are sent to os Index.

When the ntp daemon is not running, there is an error message of "Unable to talk to NTP daemon. Is it running?", which gets indexed to _internal.

Is there away to re-direct error messages to the os Index?
