Slow queries are generally due to

  • too much data
  • poor hardware
  • too long a time search window
  • badly written queries

In your query, you are searching all indexes - what is your time range and how much data are you dealing with.

You do not need to use table if you are following this with an aggregation, like stats.

You don't have a total calculated anywhere, so cannot do the eval you are trying to do

index=* action=*  
| stats count by  host, signature, action
| eventstats sum(count) as total
| eval percentage=round(count/total*100,2)."%" 
| fields - total 

The eventstats will then sum all the counts to get the total and you can then do your percentage calculation afterwards
