How do I get any records I might fins automatically submitted from my log file?

As per the title.

I don't want the hassle of checking manually.
Thanks in advance :)

Edit: Can't seem to edit the spelling mistake in the title :)

I'd still need some clarification, though.

What "records" - are you talking about recordings/entries, or stuff like oldest/largest/hottest/most beautiful?

Submitted - to where?

If you play on a Console (XBox or PlayStation) there is no way to do it.
If you play on PC, get the Elite Dangerous Discovery software. https://github.com/EDDiscovery/EDDiscovery/wiki
Set up an account with EDSM and/or EGO and configure the software to sync with those web sites.

EDSM has some records but is mostly for logging your data.
EGO has more detailed records, but doesn't have the kind of user profile features that EDSM has

Note: These don't just submit records. They submit all jumps and scans. The web site then determines what if anything is a record breaker.

If you are already using ED Discovery, I assume you're syncing to EDSM but you also need to sync to EDDN if you want the data from DSS scans to be sumbited.
If you are syncing to EDDN, any scans you have done will show up in EDSM and eddb.io.
Any EDSM records you may have discovered would be listed on this page and you would have the badge "Bigger, Smaller, Hotter, Colder"

Maybe I should post this on the EDDiscovery thread?

Yeah, people should use EGO a lot more. It's the best (only real) record book we've got left for Elite. EDSM is nice for tracking, though the layout doesn't work as a record book / finder /comparison thing.

I have several celestial 'record breakers' noted on EGO but none on EDSM, why is that?

Past a million bodies now, it's really ramped up since we added automatic uploads to EDD.

@Col Frost - double check your user name and API key are correct, if they are check your trace file (%user%\AppData\Local\EDDiscovery\Logs) and there should be lines starting "EGO message post failed - status" followed by what the actual error was. Ping them my way if it's not obvious what they mean :)

Different datasets. EDSM pulls from EDDN and EGO relies on direct submission. (Assuming you're sending data to EDDN so that EDSM can see it). EDDN has a lot more inputs than EGO. Your record breakers beat the other EGO submitters but not the EDDN ones...
