I am setting up Kibana and elastic search for the application build on JDK7. Which version of Kibana and elastic search will support JDK7 build application?

I have found that elastic search version newer than 2.4 does not support JDK7.https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.4/setup.html#jvm-version

If it would be right to use this very older version? and if yes then by which kibana version it can be integrated?

If you are fine with elasticsearch version 2.4, just go ahead and use it.

Version 2.4

Make sure you are having Java 7 update 55 or later. Previous versions of Java 7 are known to have bugs that can cause index corruption and data loss. (Based on official documentation)

Kibana version 4.6.0 is compatible with the elasticsearch version 2.4

Recommend using latest version of ES and Kibana.

Elasticsearch is built using Java, and requires at least Java 8 in order to run. Only Oracle’s Java and the OpenJDK are supported. 

If you can only use Java 7 then as you discovered you cannot go higher than ES 2.4
