I'm not entirely certain what you're asking, but I'll try to answer as best I can.

The database is not by default encrypted. MySQL does support encryption of individual tables, outlined here. The cost in CPU cycles to encrypt the database is high, therefore for performance reasons, the database is left unencrypted.

The file system in the VMware images we provide do not use an encrypted file system, nor are they set up to do MySQL table encryption.

The password storage mechanism in Nagios XI is standard Bcrypt with 10 rounds, salted. Read more about Bcrypt here.
