Ah, so you have 2 separate problems here.

Your first problem was that bro was only seeing half of the traffic.  Note, this does not have anything to do with wether or not you ran an ls command.  The TCP 3 way handshake and the ssh negotiation would include traffic from both sides.

Your latest conn log entry shows a proper record with packets from both directions of the connection, so whatever the issue you were having with that has been resolved.

Your second problem is that you are using the Software::log_software event. By default this will only log software seen on local ip addresses.  For a bro installation that is using broctl this is controlled by /usr/local/bro/etc/networks.cfg.  If you're normally using broctl just ensure that 192.168.99.0/24 and 10.31.10.0/24 (or whatever larger block you are using) is present in that file.  If you're not using broctl just use another script that includes

redef Site::local_nets = {
	10.0.0.0/8,	# Private IP space
	192.168.0.0/16,	# Private IP space
};
