So basically
I miss basic understanding of gnuplot on how to do this. I've read the manpage, some online documentation and examples but still can't figure out how to do a simple graph like this.

set xdata time
set yrange [0:70]
# input date format
set timefmt "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S"
# output date format
set format x "%Y\n%m-%d"
plot \
'report.txt' using 1:2 with lines ti "col 2", \
'report.txt' using 1:3 with lines ti "col 3"
