I have a server with RHEL 6. I saw in the Support Matrix that Kibana 7 is not supported in RHEL 6. Can I use Elasticsearch 7 with Kibana 6? ---

No, they have to be exactly the same version. Have a look at the [product compatibility matrix](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#matrix_compatibility) for more details. ---
