Wiremock fake that a service is down

In my current setup, if one of my services is down and a request is made to that service, I send a certain HTTP code in the response.

Now to test this I'm using Wiremock to mock my service. Is there a way to mock that the service is unavailable and return a specific response as a result?

I've tried looking through the Wiremock code but there are barely any comments for the methods. I've also tried looking through the docs and I couldn't find anything about bringing down the service.

you could try ResponseDefinitionBuilder.aResponse().withFault(Fault.CONNECTION_RESET_BY_PEER), ResponseDefinitionBuilder.serviceUnavailable() or simply point your client to a port that is guaranteed to have no listeners, depending on what exactly would you like to test with
