A multi-zone monitoring system allowing simultaneous measurement of separate zones of multi-zone wellbore formations comprising a multi-component umbilical containing both electrical lines and a hydraulic fluid lines, an inflatable isolation packer that can traverse through the wellbore and be inflated with hydraulic fluid to seal off a portion of the wellbore wherein the inflatable isolation packer is connected to a hydraulic line of the multi-component umbilical, wherein the inflatable isolation packer further comprises: one or more cable bypass feed throughs for the umbilical's electric and hydraulic fluid lines, wherein the hydraulic line is attached to the inflatable isolation packer with compression fittings. A method of monitoring geologic formations in a wellbore comprising attaching a plurality of inflatable isolation packers at predetermined distance to an umbilical containing a hydraulic line for inflating each packer, monitoring each connection of the hydraulic line to each inflatable isolation packer, attaching monitoring equipment to the umbilical at predetermined distances to the umbilical, lowering the equipment and inflatable isolation packers down a wellbore using the umbilical, and monitoring the equipment and each hydraulic line connection at a surface.
