SCOM 2012 Failed Accessing Windows Event Log with Veeam Management Pack

Error details show the following:

The Windows Event Log Provider is still unable to open the Veeam Collector event log on computer 'management server 1'. The Provider has been unable to open the Veeam Collector event log for 720 seconds. Most recent error details: The specified channel could not be found. Check channel configuration. One or more workflows were affected by this. Workflow name: many Instance name: many Instance ID: many Management group:

We have the Veeam management pack for SCOM loaded and sure enough, this appears to be a documented issue on the Veeam knowledge base.
