Installing this module will result in watchdog notices whenever a cache tag is invalidated on your site (see screenshot). There is no configuration, just install and it will work.

N.B. Not recommended for production sites, this is a developer tool.

To make your Drupal 8 site as good as it can be it is a really good idea to utilise cache tags fully.

You may be familiar with examining cache tags on your pages by turning on 'debug_cacheability_headers' in services.yml.

You may also have investigated problematic cache tags such as 'node_list', which can seriously compromise the effectiveness of caching on your site if not addressed (see Karim's excellent article at http://karimboudjema.com/en/drupal/20190909/node-list-cache-tag-pitfall-...).

Whilst it is informative to see the cache tags appearing on my pages, I have found it very difficult to determine which cache tags are being invalidated at any time. For example, when I create a new article, I know that the dreaded 'node_list' cache tag will be invalidated but I'm not sure which other ones will be invalidated as well.

This module is the solution to that problem. Simple install it and any cache tags that are invalidated will show in watchdog.
