What are you trying to achieve?

I want to add a process.signals_pending metric to the semantic conventions.

Additional context.

If I understand correctly, this metric is useful to see if/when a process stopped accepting signals, which can be useful in investigating issues.

Telegraf exposes this metric in its procstat input plugin. Adding a semantic convention for this metric in OT should make migration from Telegraf to OpenTelemetry easier.

Related proposal to add this metric in the hostmetrics receiver: open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib#14084.

These all make sense, but please pause for now, we are considering refactoring existing semantic conventions. Please come to ongoing discussions. See #2753.
