Summary

The Global Search and Replace (GSAR) operation takes time and string characters changes.

Question

The GSAR execution depends on the speed or performance of the network and is slow in remote machines.

Answer

The GSAR execution depends on the speed or performance of the network.

In case of poor network speed or performance, it is recommended to select lesser number of monitors for GSAR.

You can select relatively more number of monitors while doing the GSAR operation on the local SiteScope machine, and the GSAR operation also works better on the local machine.

The Find and Replace will replace the text based on the checkboxes that are selected.

For example, if you select the checkboxes Name and Monitor Description under General Settings ,and enter a string to Find and Replace, it will replace the string,

only if it is present in both Name and Monitor Description.

If you want to replace the string present only in Monitor Description, you must deselect the other checkboxes and do the Find and Replace.
