 * `log.Logger`: You can set this value to customize the global logger (the one used by package level methods).
-* `zerolog.GlobalLevel`: Can raise the mimimum level of all loggers. Set this to `zerolog.Disable` to disable logging altogether (quiet mode).
-* `zerolog.SamplingDisable`: If set to `true`, all sampled loggers will stop sampling and issue 100% of their log events.

 * `zerolog.TimestampFieldName`: Can be set to customize `Timestamp` field name.

 * `zerolog.MessageFieldName`: Can be set to customize message field name.
