It's a command-line parameter --

Encryption Routines: NOT AVAILABLE

Usage: /usr/local/nagios/bin/send_nsca <host_address> [-p port] [-to
to_sec] [-d delim] [-c config_file]

Options:
 <host_address> = The IP address of the host running the NSCA daemon
 [port]         = The port on which the daemon is running - default is
5667
 [to_sec]       = Number of seconds before connection attempt times out.
                  (default timeout is 10 seconds)
 [delim]        = Delimiter to use when parsing input (defaults to a
tab)
 [config_file]  = Name of config file to use

Note:
This utility is used to send passive service check results to the NSCA
daemon.
Servce check data that is to be sent to the NSCA daemon is read from
standard
input. Service check information is in the following format
(tab-delimited
unless overriden with -d command line argument, one entry per line):

<host_name>[tab]<svc_description>[tab]<return_code>[tab]<plugin_output>[
newline]
