+module: redis_data_incr
+short_description: Increment keys in Redis
+version_added: 4.0.0
+description:
+   - Increment integers or float keys in Redis database and get new value.
+   - Default increment for all keys is 1. For specific increments use the
+     I(increment_int) and I(increment_float) options.
+   - When using I(check_mode) the module will try to calculate the value that
+     Redis would return. If the key is not present, 0.0 is used as value.
+author: "Andreas Botzner (@paginabianca)"
