Description

To be able to monitor the circuit breakers effectively it would be good to expose their state (closed, open, half-open) as of Spring Actuator endpoints without additional effort.

Monitoring the state of circuit breakers would allow discovering that a upstream dependency suddenly becomes unavailable. It is essential for applications used in production.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the circuit-breaker API and the Spring Actuator endpoint conventions mentioned in the issue. Define how closed, open, and half-open states should be exposed across the supported implementations, then verify that production monitoring can discover each circuit-breaker state through the resulting endpoint.
