Tracking Help Center traffic with Google Analytics

Question

I have set up our help center to work with Google Analytics as shown in the Intercom article.

However, I'm having some trouble getting the data I want out of it. I think part of the problem is that we set up the helpdesk to use a subdomain (looks like analytics isn't great with those).

Does anybody use Google analytics and tell me if and how you managed to get data about:

user-flow to and from our articles (what URL they came from and where they went next)
if possible the same data from above filtered by article language (via URL)
and the Intercom article also mentioned: How many articles they read in a session

Any other data you are looking at?
