x-axis label to be in dateTime

[Nitika123]

I am having the values to be displayed on the x-axis in the following format: DD:MM:YYYY_hh:mm:ss stored as string type. When I am passing these values, I am getting the following graph:

The axis-values are numbers without any point displayed on the chart. The data is passed as {x:"07-08-2018_20:23:45",y:0.456}. But the graph doesn't show any such point.

What changes to I have to do to make the x-axis values to be in dateTime format.As of now the options are as follows:

options: {

        scales: {
            xAxes: [{
                scaleLabel: {
                  display: true,
                  labelString: 'Date Time'
                }
              }],
        yAxes: [{
        ticks: {
        beginAtZero:false
            }
        }]
        },
    }

I changed the string using moment().format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss'). But now the x-axis values are showing up as 6AM,6PM,6AM,.... corresponding to different dates. I want them to be as 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss'. What should be done?

options: {            
        scales: {
            xAxes: [{
                type: "time",
                display: true,
                scaleLabel: {
                    display: true,
                    labelString: 'Date'
                }
     
            }],
        yAxes: [{
        ticks: {
        beginAtZero:false
            }
        }]
        },
    }
