  We identify a set of 18 solar analogs among the seismic sample of solar-like
stars observed by the Kepler satellite rotating between 10 and 40 days. This
set is constructed using the asteroseismic stellar properties derived using
either the global oscillation properties or the individual acoustic
frequencies. We measure the magnetic activity properties of these stars using
observations collected by the photometric Kepler satellite and by the
ground-based, high-resolution Hermes spectrograph mounted on the Mercator
telescope. The photospheric (Sph) and chromospheric (S index) magnetic activity
levels of these seismic solar analogs are estimated and compared in relation to
the solar activity. We show that the activity of the Sun is comparable to the
activity of the seismic solar analogs, within the maximum-to-minimum temporal
variations of the 11-year solar activity cycle 23. In agreement with previous
studies, the youngest stars and fastest rotators in our sample are actually the
most active. The activity of stars older than the Sun seems to not evolve much
with age. Furthermore, the comparison of the photospheric, Sph, with the
well-established chromospheric, S index, indicates that the Sph index can be
used to provide a suitable magnetic activity proxy which can be easily
estimated for a large number of stars from space photometric observations.
