A serial console is a "Craft terminal for telecommunications equipment" as mentioned in this link : tldp.org/HOWTO/Remote-Serial-Console-HOWTO/intro-why.html

Here I log into the console so the terminal will be "/dev/console" .
Now, any kind of activity on this terminal does not get recorded by the audit log.
