Data isn't really flushed from the slog to primary storage -- indeed, the
slog is never read from during normal operation. Instead data is streamed
to primary storage asynchronously. This should happen within 5-10 seconds
at regular intervals as transaction groups are closed.

Rather than monitoring fullness, I'd suggest you look at the datarate to the
slog device.
