You have to to do one more update to multiselect token,

<prefix>(</prefix>
      <suffix>)</suffix>
      <valuePrefix>source="</valuePrefix>
      <valueSuffix>"</valueSuffix>
      <delimiter> OR </delimiter>

 

Change the following query to -

index="main"  signal  $tokserver$  | search signal=$toksig$ | table _time Modules
