      "cpu": "20770421|20494981",

Good question, this comes from the pfSense cpu_usage() function itself that you can see here:- https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/blob/master/src/usr/local/www/includes/functions.inc.php#L84

The comment there states:- """ Returns the current total ticks and user ticks. The dashboard widget calculates the load from that """

Reading the pfSense code is seems that the first value is the sum of the CPU usage and the second value is the CPU idle time
