 Description   

The frontend item key helper refers to this item key:

grpfunc[<group>,<key>,<func>,<param>]

but the "group", "key" and "func" parameters are mandatory. The key should be:

grpfunc[group,key,func,<param>]

(1) let's improve the comment itself as well. both in the helper and in the manual (https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.0/manual/config/items/itemtypes/aggregate) it claims that "collects aggregate information by doing direct database queries"

this implies that value cache is not used. i'd suggest to rephrase it to something like "...calculates aggregate information by reusing previously collected values." (or better )

also, to be more consistent with other items i'd suggest something like this for the key helper :
"Aggregate checks are calculated on host group basis by reusing previously collected values. Returns float"
