How can I break out streamstats into multiple groups?

I'm wanting to group streamstats results by either one or two fields. Grouping by sourcetype would be sufficient. Grouping by index and sourcetype would be ideal.

This query works fine for a single sourcetype, however does not work for multiple sourcetypes.

The desired outcome is one record per unique sourcetype and/or index.

Example query:

| tstats count as event_count where index="aws_p" sourcetype="aws:cloudwatch:guardduty" by _time span=1m index sourcetype
| sort _time
| streamstats window=1 current=false sum(event_count) as event_count values(_time) as prev_time by index sourcetype
| eval duration=_time-prev_time
| eval minutes_between_events=duration/60
| stats min(minutes_between_events) as min_minutes_between_events avg(minutes_between_events) as avg_minutes_between_events max(minutes_between_events) as max_minutes_between_events by index sourcetype
| eval avg_minutes_between_events=round(avg_minutes_between_events,0)
| eval max_hours_between_events=round(max_minutes_between_events/60,2)

results for multiple sourcetypes

When using streamstats + window and a by clause, you need to specify global flag

| streamstats window=1 global=false current=false sum(event_count) as event_count values(_time) as prev_time by index sourcetype
