H-B, I'm still in trouble... I set the parameters based on the Date/
Time Help file example, but am not getting anywhere. I suspected that
the problem may be due to a mixed use of space and commas, thus I
specified

set datafile separator ","
set xdata time
set timefmt "%M-%D %H:%M:%S"
set format x "%3.3S"

but when I try to plot the data:

04-12 16:10:58.649,04-12
16:10:58.695,0.045376,GROUP_1,GROUP_1,1,1,GROUP_1,SUCCESS,0

I'm still getting a time formatting error for each of the tens of
thousands of lines or

gnuplot> plot 'output.csv' using ($1):($3)
                                          ^
         all points y value undefined!

Desperation slowly sets in...
