Create a Time Table with multiple 'by' fields

I need a table that looks like a chart containing multiple 'by' values.

sample output:

time_bin, farmName, errorCount
12:05      , farmOne   , 7
12:05      , farmTwo   , 6
12:10      ,farmOne    ,8

So far I'm doing this:

index=prod-* sourcetype=fruits msg="ripened*" | 
bin _time span=5m | 
eval error = if(like(sev,"ERROR"),1,null) |
eval warn = if(like(sev,"WARN"),1,null) |
eval info = if(like(sev,"INFO"),1,null) |
eval farm = case(
like(index,"%farm1"),"farmOne",
like(index,"%farm2"),"farmTwo",") |
stats values(farm), count(errors) by _time

This mostly gets me what I want, except I get a multi-value field for farm. So I get

12:05 , farmOne FarmTwo, 13 instead of what I want.

what am I missing?

You can try stats by _time and farm to separate it by _time and with farm name like:

...|stats values(farm), count(errors) by _time farm

if this wont work then try below:

...|makemv farm|mvexpand farm

who knew by would accept two terms separated by a space. Thanks!
