Share circuit breaker over multiple feign clients

Question

For an application that has multiple feign clients connecting all to the same external component we want one shared circuit breaker.

How can this be achieved with spring-cloud-starter-openfeign?

Detailed explanation:

When the providing service is down all 3 clients should stop sending. As all requests should fail. Is it possible that all 3 clients share the same circuitbreaker?

Spring-cloud-feign comes with Hystrix – Jeff Aug 01 '19 at 08:12 — Jeff, Aug 01 '19 at 08:12

I think you can create FeignClient(not circuit breaker) for providing service(feign in this service).Consuming service inject ‘providing service's FeignClient’, this client can request providing service.
